What is ACORN?

ACORN Canada is a local and national community union of low and moderate income people fighting for social justice. We are a membership based organization that is independent from the governments, corporations and banks we seek to hold accountable. We are 190,000+ members strong across 30 neighbourhood chapters in 10 regions across 6 provinces.

ACORN’s purpose is to give low-to-moderate income people the power needed to have their voices effectively heard at the highest levels in the country. ACORN is able to be both a local-based union winning local campaigns, as well as a large-scale organization combining forces to fight national corporations and governments that are at the root of most of our problems.

We are a tenants’ union. We are a disability action union. We are a worker’s union. We are a consumer's union. We are whatever our members are. Our members pay dues so that the organization can be sustainable and not dependent on outside funding from government and corporations. Each dues member has a vote, and only members speak for the organization. Our members get elected to our board of directors and set our policy and help determine the tactics.

Some of our major victories include:

$10/month internet for 220,000 low income families through the federal Connecting Families program & some social housing providers
Stricter regulations and lowered interest rates on payday loan companies like Money Mart
$15 million/year in the city budget for affordable housing since 2019
Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of repairs into our members' units and apartments
Stopping our members' evictions and AGIs (Above the guideline rent increases)
AND MORE!

Application question(s):

Are you using ChatGPT or AI to answer these questions?
Are you returning to school? If yes, when?
Why do you want to work for a social justice organization?
Please outline (using examples when possible) how you have an enthusiasm for knocking on doors and talking to strangers year-round.
How do you feel about membership dues as a model for sustaining an independent community union?
SITUATIONAL QUESTION: You’ve been planning a protest for the last month against a local landlord who has mistreated an ACORN member. Half an hour before it’s due to start, the member calls you to say that she can’t attend the protest because she thinks the landlord will respond by increasing her rent as a punishment. What would you say to the member to persuade her to change her mind?
SITUATIONAL QUESTION: A member you recruited recently attends your chapter meeting. He begins to speak over other members and is not willing to listen to others who have a different opinion. You can see that some members are getting uncomfortable or frustrated. What do you do to defuse the situation?
