California ACORN splits from national organization

ACORN had lost credibility, even in the SF Bay area. So the California branch has split from the national organization and formed an entirely new group with no ties to the mother ship. Their new name is Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment.

    That’s interesting. The Hightower Lowdown has a piece this week about how “ACORN’s real ‘crime’ is that it empowers the poor.” I wonder how this will affect their work.
