We are ACORN!

the union for the community

JOIN US

We’re paying for the cost of living crisis, but we didn’t cause it. Join us to fight back!

It is us, ordinary people that truly power society and create the country’s wealth. Yet it is our housing that’s not good enough, our services and jobs that are cut.

Trade unions in decades before have brought together workers to fight and win. As a community union, we bring together all kinds of people to do the same, on all the issues that matter to us. 

It’s hard to defeat bosses, landlords or politicians alone, but united together in our thousands, we can win.
