For over 55 years, ACORN has empowered millions through campaigns that secured homes for 6 million families, curbed predatory lending, won living wages for over 20 million people (worth billions annually), and delivered countless community victories. After Hurricane Katrina, ACORN and our Louisiana affiliate played a key role in rebuilding New Orleans, especially the Lower Ninth, where we remain active with our half-acre ACORN Farm and internet-based ACORN Radio, both run by members and our affiliate, A Community Voice. Our New Orleans-based headquarters supports major affiliates in Canada-where we've won major victories for tenants and against predatory lending-and in India, where we represent 250,000 informal workers fighting for their right to livelihood. Through our ACORN Organizing School, we train international organizers in the theory and practice of community organizing. We've helped establish landlord registries and tenant protections in France, England, and Scotland, while supporting grassroots campaigns in Kenya and Cameroon. As a democratic, member-led, dues-based organization, ACORN continues to grow and help members build power and win real change around the world.
