AARP Legislative Day

Please join us for our Legislative Day at the Capitol on Tuesday, February 14th from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. AARP’s Legislative Day will give you an opportunity to advocate for the protection of vulnerable adults from financial exploitation by bringing the perpetrators to justice. While financial exploitation can happen to anyone, older adults and people with disabilities are unfortunately targeted for this crime. Washington State Adult Protective Services data shows a 92% increase in the number of financial exploitation investigations from 2010 to 2015. With more than 10,000 people turning 65 every day for the next decade, the numbers will continue to rise. AARP Washington is supporting legislation to increase the criminal penalties for these heinous crimes.

We need your help in delivering signed petitions to legislators in Olympia to let them know this is a priority.

What: AARP Legislative Day at the Capitol Light breakfast, lunch and training will be provided.

When: Tuesday, February 14th 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
