ACORN is swinging into action to work in the most vulnerable communities
to help connect residents with information and services in the aftermath
of Hurricane Ike. Of course with so many homes damaged and millions
without power, families are struggling to get water, ice, food and
gasoline-- and begin the process of home repair. Without reliable phone
service, internet nor electricity, now more than ever it is important to
have a strong grassroots organizing effort to make sure people have up
to date, accurate information in order to get immediate and long term
needs met.
*We will be organizing emergency ACORN neighborhood meetings starting
this Wednesday to provide a space for residents to voice concerns, have
questions answered and to get organized for the rebuilding process.
Below is the list of those who are currently scheduled, more will be
scheduled in coming days.*
*/Pasadena: /**/Wednesday September 17th 4:00 PM /*//
Saint Juan Diego Church 3301 77503

ACORN is working with Univision, religious institutions, elected
officials, legal aid agencies and others to get word out to as many
families as possible. Please contact us if you are interested in
