Saks Off 5th Ave Boarded Store Democracy Signs, Minneapolis

The boarded-up storefront of Saks Off 5th Avenue in Downtown Minneapolis displays two large signs. One sign reads "100% IN FOR DEMOCRACY," while the other states "STRONGER TOGETHER BETTER TOGETHER ALWAYS TOGETHER," both bearing the Saks Off 5th x Civic Alliance branding. Many businesses in Minneapolis boarded their windows in 2020, both during the protests following George Floyd's murder and in anticipation of potential unrest surrounding the US Presidential Election. These signs reflect a corporate message of civic engagement and unity during a period of significant social and political tension in the city and across the nation.
