ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now,
is the nation’s largest community organization of low and moderate
income families, with more than 300,000 ACORN members organized into
neighborhood chapters in over 110 cities around the country. Since 1970,
ACORN has been taking action and winning victories on issues of concern
to our members. Our priorities include better housing for first time home-
buyers and tenants, living wages for low-wage workers, more investment
in our communities from banks and governments, and better public
schools. ACORN achieves these goals by building community organizations
that have the power to win changes—through direct action, negotiation,
legislation, and voter participation.
For more information, go to www.acorn.org.
ACORN’s Living Wage Resource Center (LWRC) was established in 1998
to provide technical assistance to organizers from community, labor and
faith-based coalitions in their efforts to promote living wage and minimum
wage policies at the local, state and federal level. LWRC’s direct assistance
to campaigns includes research, campaign materials, organizing strategy,
resource contacts, and training. In addition, LWRC tracks the national
movement and its opponents and educates policy makers and the media
on the context of the broader struggle for economic justice from which
living wage/minimum wage policy and organizing arise. We seek not only
an increase in the number of laws requiring improved wages and other
labor standards, but in the strength and long term capacity of the grass-
roots organizations with which we work.

MOVING FORWARD, BUILDING POWER:
ACORN’S WORKING FAMILIES AGENDA
The message sent by voters in the 2006 elections is clear:
Americans care about working families. More and more families
R are being squeezed between stagnant wages and the high cost
of housing, food, energy, childcare, health care and education.
Raising the minimum wage is a start toward improving economic security
for working families, but we need to do more. ACORN is building on the
momentum of our minimum wage campaigns and demanding that Congress
and our state legislatures pass measures that will put more money in the
pockets of hard-working families.
Raising the minimum wage. Congress and President Bush need to
increase the federal minimum wage. In the meantime, the 22 states that
still have a minimum wage pegged to the federal level of $5.15 per hour
need to pass their own increases, with annual cost of living adjustments.
Paid sick days for all workers. Almost half of all private sector
workers don’t have a single paid sick day. Congress should pass the
Healthy Families Act, which requires employers to provide at least
7 paid sick days for workers to recover from illness or to care for sick
family members, and state legislatures should pass equivalent laws.
Child care and dependent care tax credits. Child and adult dependant
care can eat up thousands of dollars of a low-income family’s already-
stretched income. The 14 states with income taxes that have no child
care credit or dependent care tax credit should adopt a credit, and
Congress should make the credit available to more low-income workers.
Earned Income Tax Credits. The Federal Earned Income Tax Credit
(EITC) program lifts more children above the poverty line than any oth-
er social program. While 21 states already have their own EITC program
to supplement federal EITC dollars, the 17 states with state income tax
but without their own EITC program should create one, and Congress
should increase eligibility and benefit levels under the federal EITC.
Impact on a Working Family
What impact would these policies have on a family’s bottom line? While it would vary from state to
state, law to law, and family to family, it’s clear that ACORN’s Working Families Agenda could make
a real difference in helping families achieve a greater degree of economic security. Here’s how these
policies might affect a theoretical working family with two children and a single adult wage earner:
Income: 40 hrs/wk @ $5.15/hr............................................... $10,712
Raise with minimum wage increase to $7.25/hr ................... $4,368
Five paid sick days/yr ............................................................ $290
Child care tax credit .............................................................. $300-$800
New state EITC @ 20% of federal ......................................... $850
Extra income for working family: ...................................... $5,808 – $6,308
An income increase of up to 50%!

HARD WORK DESERVES FAIR PAY:
ACORN’S CAMPAIGN TO RAISE THE
MINIMUM WAGE
The 2006 election represents an unprec-
edented victory for working families.
R
Voters in six states have spoken up loud
and clear in support of low wage workers
by voting YES to higher minimum wages. In four of
these states—Missouri, Arizona, Colorado, and
Ohio—ACORN helped lead the charge by registering,
ACORN’s campaigns in Missouri, Arizona, Colorado,
and Ohio are part of an unprecedented effort to merge
good policy and good politics.
educating and turning out hundreds of thousands of
low-income and minority voters. The results speak
for themselves: 1.5 million workers in these four
states will get a raise.
ACORN members have long believed that hard work
deserves fair pay. However, Congress has continued
to fail working families—refusing to raise the federal
minimum wage in nearly a decade—the longest dry
spell in the history of the federal wage standard.
Today, the $5.15 federal minimum wage is at its
lowest real value in 51 years. At just $206 a week,
a full time worker earning the minimum wage with
even only one dependent child would fall thousands
of dollars below the federal poverty line.
For more than a decade, ACORN has been the grass-
roots leader of the national living wage movement,
leading 15 successful local living wage campaigns
as well as eight state minimum wage increases. We
have been privileged to serve as a resource and an
ally for the larger movement—a rare success story of
progressive organizing—which has in total delivered
140 local living wage laws and dozens of state
minimum wage laws.
In 2004, the movement took a giant leap forward
when ACORN and our allies gathered nearly a million
signatures from fed-up voters to put a $1 minimum
wage increase on the Florida ballot. On election night,
as we watched it pass with 71% of the vote—carrying
every county and getting more votes than were cast
for George W. Bush—we knew we had started a fire.
ACORN and our allies immediately began planning
to take wage organizing to a new level.
In the two years that followed, while Congress managed
to ignore every poll, march, lobby day and ounce of
morality calling on them to update the shamefully
inadequate federal minimum wage, people took
matters into their own hands. ACORN and our allies
hit the streets, gathering millions of signatures to
qualify six new ballot measures for 2006. Meanwhile,
19 state legislatures set new higher minimums,
bringing to 22 the number of states who refused
to let Congress be their guide.
ACORN’s campaigns in Missouri, Arizona, Colorado,
and Ohio are part of an unprecedented effort to
merge good policy and good politics: to deliver real
benefits to our constituency, expand the progressive
electorate, and inject issues of direct importance to
working families into the public policy debate. And
it’s working.
Election night 2006 had an amazing sense of hope
and possibility. How do we use the momentum of
these victories to continue to make real change for
low-income working families? Join us, and help
deliver the message of November 7, 2006, to elected
officials throughout the country.

 MINIMUM WAGE BALLOT INITIATIVES
DELIVER RAISE FOR 1.6 MILLION WORKERS
On November 7, voters in four states
overwhelmingly passed ACORN-backed
R ballot initiatives to increase their state’s
minimum wage by $1.35 or more. Voters
also passed similar ballot initiatives in Montana
and Nevada, demonstrating an electoral mandate
for wage increases. Significantly, measures in all six
states included annual wage increases to keep pace
with inflation. All told, more than 1.6 million workers
will benefit.

Other ACORN minimum wage victories ‘06
ACORN and our labor, religious and community allies have won minimum wage increases
through legislative victories in an additional eleven states in 2006. ACORN had a strong
role in seven of these campaigns, helping win raises for 3.4 million workers. Among these
exciting victories were two southern states (AR and NC)—the first in the nation outside
Florida—and four states that acted to raise their minimum wage for the first time ever (AR,
MI, NC, and PA). Particularly telling were unexpected legislative victories in Michigan and
Arkansas where the threat of a ballot initiative being organized by ACORN and our
allies pushed legislators to reverse their previously held positions and promptly legislate
minimum wage increases. All told, here is a summary of our legislative victories:

In Michigan, 500,000 workers will get a raise when the minimum wage increases
to $7.40 over two years.

In Arkansas, 127,000 workers will see their hourly rate increase as the minimum
wage rises to $6.25.

In Pennsylvania, the state raised the minimum wage to $7.15 in two steps by July
2007 for businesses with more than 10 employees, and by July 2008 for businesses
with fewer than 10 employees. All told, an estimated 754,000 workers will benefit.

In North Carolina, 300,000 workers will get a raise when the minimum wage
rises to $6.15.

In Massachusetts, 315,000 workers will get a raise when the minimum wage
rises to $8.00 by 2008.

In California, 1.4 million workers will see their hourly rate increase as the minimum
wage rises to $8.00 by 2008.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, 43,000 workers will get a raise as the minimum wage
increases to $7.50 over three years—with Albuquerque being only the fourth city in the
country to enact a citywide minimum wage law.

 TAKING IT TO THE STATES:
ACORN’S FIELD CAMPAIGN
ACORN’s successful minimum wage field
campaign combined ambitious door-to-
R door canvassing along with public events,
actions and media work. Individual voter
contact targeting infrequent low and moderate
income voters was the foundation of ACORN’s field
strategy. Starting more than a year before Election
Day, ACORN members and organizers were in our
neighborhoods knocking on doors, calling voters,
and reaching out through churches and community
meetings. By Election Day, most voters in ACORN
neighborhoods had been contacted multiple times
with in-person visits, literature-drops, and phone
reminders. ACORN also organized early voting and
absentee voting drives. And in order to make sure
every vote counts, ACORN coordinated an extensive
“election protection” campaign.
The two states with by far the largest field
campaigns were Missouri and Ohio. In Missouri,
ACORN’s campaign services entity, Citizens Services
Inc., served as the overall general consultant to
the Give Missourians a Raise coalition and was
ACORN Association of Community Organizations For Reform Now
5
responsible for managing all aspects of the field and
media campaigns. In Ohio, ACORN and Grassroots
Solutions jointly managed the campaign, with ACORN
building and running the 550-person canvass
program that visited 184,000 drop-off voter
households an average of three times each in Ohio’s
six major metropolitan areas.
By Election Day, most voters in ACORN
neighborhoods had been contacted multiple
times with in-person visits, literature drops,
and phone reminders.
ACORN’s work, however, did not stop at our
aggressive voter contact program. ACORN continued
our ongoing membership-building activities, increasing
our post-election capacity to win change for low and
moderate income families. ACORN members held
marches and rallies, lobbied city councils, gave low
wage workers an opportunity to tell their stories to the
public and pressed anti-minimum wage candidates to
defend their positions.
ACORN registered 209,996 new
low-income and minority voters in
Missouri, Arizona, Colorado, and Ohio.
1,600 ACORN members, paid field crews,
and volunteers contacted 380,000 low-
propensity voters in low and moderate
income and minority neighborhoods with
multiple in-person visits.
ACORN and our allies gathered 1.28
million signatures to get the four
initiatives on the ballot. ACORN
collected 550,000 of these signatures.
City Councils in Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati, Ohio, passed
ACORN-backed resolutions calling on voters to approve Issue 2, the state’s
minimum wage initiative.

Missouri ACORN members marched into Senator Jim Talent’s St. Louis office to
protest his poor minimum wage voting record. ACORN members took a box of old
shoes with the names of America’s most undesirable low wage jobs taped to them
and challenged Talent to walk a day in one pair of those shoes doing the job of a
minimum wage worker.

At a “Minimum Wage Worker Speak-Out” hosted by Arizona ACORN, three low

wage workers shared their struggles to eke out a living on minimum wage. Leann
Kinsey, who makes just $6 an hour at a customer service job, described having
to sleep in a homeless shelter and being unable to buy school supplies for her
14-year-old son, who recently took a job at a grocery store to help pay the bills.

100 Colorado ACORN members and allies promoted early voting with a march,
rally, and vote-in in Denver on October 23, the first day of early voting in the state.
Colorado ACORN also worked to contact 30,000 absentee voters whose ballots
had been mailed late by the county to ensure that their votes were counted.

ACORN members in four Ohio cities held clergy gatherings to get commitments
from pastors to include pro-minimum wage inserts in church bulletins and to speak
from the pulpit on the Sunday before Election Day about the importance of voting
for the minimum wage.

In July, more than 2,000 ACORN members traveled from around the country to
ACORN’s National Convention in Columbus, Ohio, where they door-knocked,
marched and rallied in support of the minimum wage. Speaking under the
banner “Raising Our States” national leaders including Senators John Edwards
and Hillary Clinton, Reverend Al Sharpton, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, and
comedienne Roseanne Barr helped bring widespread media attention to ACORN’s
campaign to raise wages.

ACORN fought to protect voters’ rights in Ohio, suing Secretary of State and
gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell for failing to enforce the national “motor
voter” law and suppressing the vote. ACORN and allies won another legal case
against Blackwell when a federal court in Ohio blocked enforcement of a state law
that imposed crippling restrictions on voter registration drives.

ACORN Precinct Action Leaders Move their Communities
In Ohio, Missouri, and Arizona, 207 ACORN Precinct Action Leaders
(APALs) worked diligently throughout the election to build strong
networks in their neighborhoods by educating voters and increasing
voter turnout block by block. Launched in 2006, the APAL program
recruits and trains residents of low-income neighborhoods to take
responsibility for increasing civic participation in their own
communities. Each volunteer Precinct Action Leader creates and
manages a list of low-income voters—up to 100 friends, family
members and neighbors in their immediate community—and is
in charge of contacting each voter two to three times before the
election to make sure they are registered, informed and ready to
vote. In the minimum wage initiative states, APALs built ongoing
relationships with more than 14,000 voters.

Because it is focused on building each neighborhood’s own capacity

to increase civic engagement, the APAL program builds political
power that lasts beyond any single election cycle, with APALs able
to activate their voter lists on critical issues in the community year-
round. Volunteers in the APAL program believe their work will benefit the communities they serve for the
long term. “Neighborhoods with a high voter turnout get more respect and more resources from politicians.
That’s just a fact,” said Missouri APAL leader John Shields. “Raising the wage on
November 7 is just a start.”

Powerful Partnerships
These important victories for working families would certainly not have been possible without the support and
dedicated work of ACORN’s partners and allies, both nationally and in the states. The unsurpassed talent and
comprehensive support provided by the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, AFL-CIO, National
Education Association, and the Economic Policy Institute and its EARN Network cannot be overstated.
ACORN similarly recognizes the vital contributions of SEIU, Let Justice Roll, Ballot Initiative Strategy Center,
Center for American Progress, Fairness Initiative on Low Wage Work, Jobs with Justice, and the Political
Economy Research Institute.

IN THE BLOGOSPHERE
7 Days @ Minimum Wage:
R

The Video Blog Event

www.sevendaysatminimumwage.org

Starting October 23, ACORN, the AFL-CIO, and actor and

comedienne Roseanne Barr teamed up for a groundbreaking
video blog event – 7 Days @ Minimum Wage – which used
YouTube and blogging to give America the chance to meet
seven minimum wage workers over seven days, and get a
glimpse into what life on the minimum wage is really like.
Each video featured an introduction by Roseanne, who is also
an ACORN member, and a personal interview with a low wage
worker. The videos were a hit, rising to number 89 on the
“most viewed videos of the day” on YouTube, which hosts more
than 100 million videos each day. By November 8, the videos
had been viewed over 50,000 times, and commented on by
dozens of bloggers. The site also hosted an online chat with
Barbara Ehrenreich, bestselling author of Nickel and Dimed.

BELOW ARE SOME OF THE WORKERS FEATURED ON 7 DAYS @ MINIMUM WAGE:

Jeffrey—Father and food service worker: Jeffrey stretches his $350 bi-weekly paycheck
as far as it can go: rent, electric bill, diapers, and formula for his two month old son. At
the end of the day, there is little left over to feed himself. “Sometimes I wonder where
my next meal is going to come from. It makes me feel disgusted sometimes. I do what
I have to do to make a living for me and my family.”

Jessica—Single mother, clerical worker: With four children between the ages of 10 and
16, each day on low wages is a struggle for survival and dignity for Jessica. “I’ve worked
basically at minimum wage my whole entire life. Each time I complete a new step in
education, I still find myself at minimum wage. I try to make my children strong. I don’t
tell them that the reason why mommy’s not eating tonight is because I’d rather for you
to eat than me. It makes you cry. It makes you hurt inside.”

Paul and Susan—Paul is a construction laborer, while Susan was seriously injured in a
car accident and can’t work. Paul explains: “[The work] varies from picking up trash to
installing something, digging a trench, using a pick and shovel. By the end of the day,
I’m looking at like $35, and I pretty much broke my back.” Susan challenges viewers:
“Let’s respect the backbone of America.”

 CHANGING THE DEBATE
ACORN waged a multifaceted state and
national media campaign to ensure the
R voices of working families were part of the
2006 election debate. The minimum wage
campaigns provided an extraordinary opportunity for
ACORN members and low wage workers to capture
the spotlight, focusing media attention throughout
the nation on the real life stories driving the grass-
roots fight for fair pay. Leading off with a feature
article in The New York Times Magazine in January
2006, ACORN’s campaigns were covered on the CBS
Evening News, the NBC Nightly News, NPR, in scores
of local print, broadcast and media outlets, and got
an Election Day mention on the front page of The New
York Times. The CBS Evening News featured ACORN’s
Ohio campaign in a lengthy story that included an
interview with ACORN leader Julie Smith in our
bustling Cleveland office. ACORN also launched a
minimum wage campaign e-newsletter in October,
reaching thousands of subscribers with weekly
updates on the progress of the national movement
and news from the field, and a minimum wage
campaign website at www.raisewages.org.

ACORN Leader Julie Smith Speaks Out about Life

on Minimum Wage and the Power to Make Change
Ohio ACORN leader Julie Smith knows what it’s like to live on the minimum wage—
and believes that all workers deserve better. Julie’s been a strong and articulate voice
throughout the campaign, speaking out at not only local and state events, but in Wash-
ington DC and on national news programs, including an interview on the CBS Eve-
ning News. In September, Julie delivered these moving remarks beside Senators Hillary
Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and Richard Durbin, and AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, at a
Raise the Minimum Wage press conference on the Capitol lawn in Washington:

When I was 20, I was a single mom with a new baby and a minimum wage job. I
enrolled in trade school—committed to learning a skill that would lift us out of poverty.
I was working as a cashier at a department store, making $3.35 an hour, which was the
minimum wage at the time. Each morning, I woke up at 4:30AM, took a bus and a train
to the babysitter’s house, dropped my daughter off, and rode the train to school. After
school, I went to work at the department store until 11PM.

After work, I picked up my daughter and got home after midnight each night, just to
wake up and do it all over again the next day. I worked weekends too, so there was
never a day free just for myself and my daughter; it was either work, school, or both.
I paid my own rent and utilities. I received assistance in the form of food stamps and
childcare vouchers, yet there was barely enough money to pay the bills and buy dia-
pers—and never anything left over. I was always tired, and it was a struggle to get
through each day.

This is the position that minimum and low wage workers find themselves in today. They
are willing to work hard, they deserve more, but they are held down by obstacles over
which they feel they have no control.

Until now.

Until we, the people, decided that if our elected representatives in Congress and our
state legislatures won’t do what we need them to do, we will do it ourselves.
