Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Community Organization that opperates in low income mostly minority communities. Engages in Organizing these communites to promote social change through door-to-door canvassing. Was instramental in Florida's Minimum wage campaign in 2004, and then later Minimum Wage Campaigns in several other states. ACORN came under intense scrutiny in 2008 when Republicans tried to tie the organizations Voter Registration activites to fraud and therefore President Obama, who was a former community organizer (though not with ACORN) and breifly represented the organization, along with the Illinois Department of Justice, in a lawsuit aimed at making voting more accessable. ACORN has consistantly denied the allegations, and as of today has not been found guilty of any wrong doing.
