== ACORN Methods ==

The part I took on community organization is a theme throughout ACORN's publications that I have collected. I sense this is from their strong background in organized labor. The portion on community organization is directly from their website:

ACORN organizes the unorganized.

Although no stranger to coalition politics, ACORN's first priority is building organization in low-income communities. Because ACORN

believes that social change comes from the bottom up, organizers are on the streets every day, knocking on doors and recruiting new

members. Major campaigns, whether around housing, or jobs, or voter registration, are designed to reach the unorganized majority of low

and moderate-income people - the key constituency that must be mobilized for a progressive movement for social change in this country

to succeed

I still haven't found any reference to immigrant rights in any of their information or any news stories so oif you have something on that please provide a source and I won't object to it being listed but I don't see it listed as one of their goals.
