THE MESSAGE:

You can get out the markers and paint and make your own.
Or use the links that will let you print out a sign on 9 pieces of letter-sized paper to be taped together and assembled on your sign.

HOW TO MAKE A SIGN
If you have a yard sign from a previous issue or campaign, just cover it with new poster board. You can also borrow a Realtors’ or contractors’ sign. Otherwise create a sturdy sign out of plywood, foam board or cardboard held in the ground with wooden or metal stakes.

Put your message on paper or poster board. Attach it to the sign using clear packing tape. To protect your sign from our Minnesota weather, you may wish to cover it with clear tape, contact paper or plastic sheeting.

SHARE

TAKE PICTURES
Take a picture of your sign and send it to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Let us know what city you’re in, so we can show the statewide support for a fair budget. We will collect the pictures and send them to the Governor to let him know that people who care about homeless and low income Minnesotans and General Assistance, MFIP are walking the talk!

No yard? Post your sign in a window or on your door.

This is an effort being launched with our friends at the Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless and the Affirmative Options Coalition.
