GRASSROOTS The best way to bring our message to our elected officials is from the bottom up, or through so-called grassroots efforts. RIHCA has lobbyists both on staff and on contract to bring our message to Rhode Island lawmakers. But the message has much more impact when it comes from those on the front lines of working in the long-term care industry. We will call upon our members throughout the year to take part in grassroots efforts such as hosting local legislators, sending post cards, making phone calls and sharing social media. We hope you will take part in these efforts if requested. FIND YOUR LEGISLATORS The best way to identify your legislators is to create a Voter Voice account (A RIHCA Member Benefit) or by using the Find your Legislator Link on the Rhode Island Secretary of State Website. |
