ACORN members

ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) was a network of community-based organizations active mostly from the 1970s to the 2010s. Its members included local groups working to promote social and economic justice, addressing issues like affordable housing, living wages, and voter registration. They often organized residents to advocate for policy changes and improve their communities. ACORN members were community activists committed to empowering underrepresented populations, and while the organization faced controversy and legal challenges, they aimed to create positive social change through grassroots efforts.
