ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is the largest community organization of low and moderate-income families in the United States. ACORN has an active membership of over 175,000 families, organized into more than 1200 neighborhood chapters in more than 85 cities across the United States, as well as in Canada and Peru. As a community group, ACORN is non-profit, non-violent, and politically non-partisan though certainly progressive. The organization was born out of the civil rights movement. ACORN was founded by Wade Rathke, a community and labor organizer, in 1970. The current president of ACORN is Maude Hurd.
ACORN groups win reform through direct actions, negotiations, and working with public officials.
