Hamilton, Canada ACORN Hamilton Full time

Is social justice a passion of yours? Do you want to work in a grassroots environment that develops groups of low-to-moderate income people to fight for change?

Then we want YOU to join the ACORN organizing team

**What is ACORN?**

ACORN Canada, the nationwide community union of low-to-moderate income people, is expanding our organizing in Hamilton. Our purpose is to give low-to-moderate income people the power needed to have their voices effectively heard at the highest levels in the country.

**How?**

Organizers do direct outreach, listen to community residents’ concerns, and connect what they want to see changed to effective mass-based action. Organizing protests, developing campaigns, coordinating communications and research, and, most important, building powerful local groups all across Hamilton

ACORN is a multi-issue, mass based union of low-to-moderate income people. ACORN is able to be both a local-based union winning local campaigns, as well as a large-scale organization combining forces to fight national corporations and governments that are at the root of most of our problems.

We are a tenants’ union. We are a disability action union. We are a worker’s union. We are a consumer’s union. We are whatever our members are. Our members pay dues so that the organization can be sustainable and not dependent on outside funding from government and corporations. Each dues member has a vote, and only members speak for the organization. Our members get elected to our board of directors and set our policy and help determine the tactics.

- Willing and able to travel to training, and staff meetings. Usually 3 times a year.
