ACORN Convention Attracts Thousands to Detroit
The Associations for Community Reform Now (ACORN), an organizational outlet for low- and middle-income families for over three decades, held its biannual national conference in Detroit on June 22 and 23. Predatory loans and the foreclosure crisis were a major focus of the event, and thousands of attendees were also introduced to the Half in Ten campaign. Co-sponsored by ACORN, along with the Center for American Progress Action Fund, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, and the Coalition on Human Needs, the new effort aims to reduce poverty by half over the next ten years.
