1 | WHAT IS A RAP FOCUS GROUP? | Are there RAP members in your community who have an opinion about what we should fight for in the 2020 Legislative Session? Are there RAP members who advocated during the 2019 Legislative Session who want to help see our wins to the finish line by advocating to *implement* the laws we helped to pass? Then help organize a RAP Focus Group to bring RAP members together as part of the WLIHA's Annual Listening Tour! | ||||||||

3 | WHAT HAPPENS AT A RAP FOCUS GROUP? | We'll review what passed in 2019, we'll talk about what it's going to take to implement the local sales tax for affordable housing law and eviction reform, and what we want to prioritize for 2020! | ||||||||
