Protest with Pennies
There was a good NYT article today about the organization Acorn, featuring their successful model of door-to-door organizing against poverty. One of their recent protests encourages people to pay their utility bills with pennies. It's exciting to see a group with such an organized strategy for working with and helping to mobilize low-income communities.
Lobby Day a Success!
BFW's annual Lobby Day on June 13 was a success. Be sure to read the full report and view photos from the day.
We had 134 Lobby visits that occured and over 20 emerging leaders present.
