DescriptionAssociation of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN)

From (now-defunct) website...
"ACORN is the nation’s largest grassroots community organization of low- and moderate-income
people with over 400,000 member families organized into more than 1,200 neighborhood chapters
in 110 cities across the country.

Since 1970, ACORN has been building community organizations that are committed to social and
economic justice, and won victories on thousands of issues of concern to our members, through
direct action, negotiation, legislative advocacy & voter participation. ACORN helps those who have
historically been locked out become powerful players in our democratic system."
