Work for Social & Economic Justice

ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is building a "national movement" for social and economic justice by organizing low and moderate income communities, immigrants and communities of color for power and social change.

Join the fight for affordable housing, living wages, quality public schools, immigrant & civil rights.

ACORN is working in the trenches with grassroots organizations across the United States, Canada, The Dominican Republic, Argentina, Peru & Mexico.

In recent years, participating organizations have: helped win living wage and minimum wage campaigns, fought for rights of tenants, won countless campaigns for racial justice (including bank red-lining and racially unequal schools) fought to end ‘predatory lending’ and have forced corporations to change their practices.
