From Poverty to Prosperity: ACORN Launches People's Platform

Calls on Next Government to Focus on Childcare, Housing and Banking Reform
September 12th - ACORN is pleased to announce the launch of our Federal People's Platform. In its pages ACORN has laid out a platform that has been developed through 4 years of grassroots community organizing.
The issues identified we’re set as priorities by ACORN’s low and moderate income membership, and represent what they believe it will take to move From Poverty to Prosperity.
The Platform includes calls for bold action in 6 key areas: Housing Security, Work and Wages, Childcare, Banking, Immigration and Strong Neighbourhoods.
Highlights include the return of the Federal Minimum Wage, a National Living Wage Ordinance, a plan to make banking work for working families, a National Housing Strategy and a new Childcare program.
ACORN Members are gearing up to take these issues to Candidates running in the current Federal Election.
