ACORN

Founded in Bristol in 2014, ACORN is a mass membership organisation and network of low-income people organising for a fairer deal for our communities.

"ACORN members believe we deserve good housing, good jobs, and good public services. We believe a better country is possible if we unite together. Alone our problems seem insurmountable, but together, we share the burden on thousands of shoulders - and together, we can win."

ACORN members pledge:

• To organise and mobilise low and middle-income working-class constituencies to secure the essentials of a dignified and comfortable life by strengthening our communities and building networks of the working class
• To practice democracy as an organising principle. Led by our members, we will take control of our lives, our communities, and of our own human potential. We insist on the right to identify the problems facing us and to decide on our own solutions
• To combine and coordinate our activities across and outside our organisation, building social movements to best pursue our mission
• To provide education for our membership and wider constituency to increase our capacity, strengthen our solidarity, and build the power we need to win
• To collectively fund and resource our work through membership dues to maximise our independence, sustainability & fighting potential
• To use direct action to develop our power and take back what is ours
