Incredible piece on ACORN's ground game. The Section 8 campaign against Landau really shows how federal housing subsidies can become extraction tools when landlords treat guaranteed income as license to neglect. The tenant-union agreement with discounted rent was a clever workaround to the tradtional strike leverage problem in housing. I worked with som tenant associations in the mid-2000s and that model of enforced landlord accountability basically disappeared after ACORN dissolved, nobody else had the organizing chops to sustain it at scale.
thank you for the comments i hope you will subscribe i will be telling a lot more exciting organizing and entrepreneur stories as well as my upbringing in Los Alamos New Mexico. Appreciate you. I will take a look at neural foundry too, I started a foundational AI company here in New Orleans. So I will take a look. Appreciate you very much. I wrote this for people like you!
