Welcome to the Spring RAP Sheet where we celebrate the power of advocacy. This year marks the NH RAP Sheet’s 15th anniversary. From our very first issue, advocates have been the stars of the show. Whether fighting to end sub-minimum wages for workers with disabilities, attending every planning meeting to ensure a fully accessible Main Street, or persuading legislators to fund the waiting list – advocates have made our state a better place for all of us. This is my last issue as editor. Words cannot express how much this work as meant to me. Thank you to all those who have shared their stories and to all the readers who have enjoyed them. It’s been a great ride.
