Kingfield 100 Days of Community Information

February 23, 2021 By Sarah

Kingfield will be launching 100 Days of Community on March 1!! Fill out this google form to express your interest in helping to plan and participate in this campaign! You can also check out notes from the planning meeting last week with block contacts.

100 Days of Community is envisioned as a way to get neighbors connected, have conversations about safety, and come together as a neighborhood to take action for safety beyond policing. This campaign takes us through the rest of COVID winter, the start of the Chauvin trial, and leads up to the 1-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd by MPD and the subsequent Black Lives Matter uprisings across our city and world. This is a campaign made up of 100 days of events and actions neighbors can plug into, both on an individual and group level.

Share Your Thoughts on Local News

February 17, 2021 By Sarah

“SW MPLS News” (new name to come soon!) is currently running a listening campaign to help figure out what the residents of Southwest Minneapolis want to create to fill in the news & information gap that the SW Journal’s closure left behind. This survey was initiated by two local individuals, Andrew* and Charlie**, and their interests have overlapped with the work that a group of neighborhood associations have also done (including the Kingfield Neighborhood Association) to figure out how they can work together to also fill the gap.

Since many of our goals align, and under the premise that more heads are better than fewer, we have begun to work together to build a community-centric replacement for the SW Journal. Your input matters, and they want to hear from you about what you think the neighborhood needs.

To make your voice heard, take this survey by Friday, February 23rd: https://swmplsnews.typeform.com/to/P8S4PfA9
