ACORN – the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now –is conducting a voter outreach program that will reach 2.8 million low and moderate income voters this year. Toni McElroy is ACORN’s Texas State Chair.

[McElroy] "We are targeting African-American, Latino, new immigrant and other underrepresented groups to make sure that we register them to vote, to get out and vote and that we keep them engaged in the process."

ACORN’s goal is to register and mobilize voters who will then support candidates sensitive to the needs of low and moderate income workers.
