New book on ACORN Canada and global organizing
The last 6 years have been and exciting ride for all of us who've been lucky enough to be a part of ACORN Canada’s rapid growth. Our story over this time has been one of ordinary people trying to make extraordinary change in the face of daunting odds.
This is a story that’s not always captured well in the mainstream media, it’s a story that often requires a longer look to put into it’s proper perspective.
Global Grassroots is a compilation of essays from around the world that puts the work of ACORN Canada - including pivotal campaigns around living wages & affordable housing - into a global context on how community organizing is changing the world.
As you know, this story can sometimes be lost in the coverage of this rally or that protest - or in the daily grind of people’s busy lives - but it’s an important story and one we want to share with you.
