Four Easy Actions to take NOW to help Get Out the Vote in Kingfield!
1:
Get your We Are Kingfield / We Vote At MLK Park yard signs!
Have you seen them popping up all over Kingfield? Well, there is still time for you to get yours! It’s simple! A volunteer will place the sign in your yard in October, and then within a week after the election, a volunteer will retrieve it for re-use in 2020. Request your sign(s) here
2:
Sign up to be a KFNA Get-Out-The-Vote Block or Building Captain!
The Block Captain program is a new effort by KFNA to make sure everyone’s voice is heard in November. We’re looking for one Block Captain per block to make sure everyone on their block is registered, talk to them about early voting options, and encourage them to vote in the days before Election Day. KFNA will provide voter registration materials, and we’ll also be holding a couple of training events. Interested? Sign up here
3:
Volunteer to be a Baker or Greeter for Kingfield’s Polling Party
Tuesday Nov. 6—shifts available all day at MLK Park, 4055 Nicollet
All Kingfield neighbors vote in a single location and Kingfield’s Polling Parties are the largest celebration of community and civic responsibility that KFNA organizes all year. Once again as a “thank you” for voting, we will provide free, hot coffee and tasty treats to all Kingfield neighbors, all day long, as they come to cast their ballots in precincts 8-6 & 8-7 at MLK Park!
Volunteer to be a part of it! Greet your neighbors, hand out delicious homemade treats as well as ones donated by our many fabulous restaurants including: Butter Bakery Café, Sun Street Breads, Victor’s 1959 Café, andThe Lowbrow!

Together we can Get Out the Vote!
Be a Kingfield Get-Out-The-Vote Block or Building Captain!
The Block Captain program is a new effort by KFNA to make sure everyone’s voice is heard in November. We’re looking for one Block Captain per block to make sure everyone on their block is registered, talk to them about early voting options, and encourage them to vote in the days leading up to Election Day. Twenty-five neighbors have already stepped up to this task, which is great, but with 100 blocks in Kingfield it is possible that they your block doesn’t have a contact yet and THAT means we may still need YOU to talk with your block neighbors and make sure they have a plan to get to the polls on November 6th.
KFNA will provide voter registration materials, and we’ll also be holding a couple of training events. Interested? Sign up here: https://goo.gl/forms/CAaQrskdrt7YUeKA3
