Get your We Are Kingfield  / We Vote At MLK Park yard signs!

By

With Minneapolis’ record turnout for the August primary, we need to keep that momentum moving forward!

It’s simple: a volunteer will place the sign in your yard in September, and then within a week after the election, a volunteer will retrieve it for re-use in 2020.

View and request your sign(s) here

P.S. If by chance you still happen to have your sign from 2017 and it still says ‘Nov 7’, please email sarah@kingfield.org so we can get you a ‘6’ decal to change the date!
