Is social justice a passion of yours? Do you want to work in a grassroots environment that develops groups of low-to-moderate income people to fight for change?<\/p>\n
Then we want YOU to join the ACORN organizing team!<\/p>\n
What is ACORN?<\/strong><\/p>\n ACORN Canada, the nationwide community union of low-to-moderate income people, is expanding our organizing in Ottawa & Gatineau. Our 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.<\/p>\n How?<\/strong><\/p>\n Organizers do direct outreach, listen to community residents\u2019 concerns, and connect what they want to see changed to effective mass-based action. Organizing protests, developing campaigns, coordinating communications and research, and, most important, building powerful local groups all across the National Capital Region!<\/p>\n ACORN is a multi-issue, mass based union of low-to-moderate income people. 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.<\/p>\n We are a tenants\u2019 union. We are a disability action union. We are a worker\u2019s union. We are a consumer\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n Our members\u2019 current campaign priorities include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Affordable & Livable Housing: https:\/\/acorncanada.org\/resource\/ottawa-acorns-healthy-homes-platform<\/a> *APPLY WITH COVER LETTER*<\/strong><\/p>\n Community Organizer<\/strong><\/p>\n Qualifications and Skills<\/strong><\/p>\n Salary: $41,000 – $43,000<\/p>\n
