Within hours of the sign going up in early October, vandals scrawled hate speech using black spray paint on a campaign billboard to elect Kyle Smith to Fayetteville City Council. Smith was appointed to City Council three years ago but is also a noted LGBTQ civil rights advocate. No data yet exists, but this election cycle sign vandalism appears to be statewide occurrence.
During the month of November 2019, KUAF will participate in the national movement called The Purple Project for Democracy. The Purple Project is a non-partisan coalition, campaign and movement, spanning the breadth of American society "to rediscover and recommit to our democratic values and institutions."
