Not satisfied with providing housing assistance and organizing low-income folks for decades, and, according to Fox News, rigging the national elections for Obama, ACORN is now physically interfering with foreclosure evictions.
As resistance to foreclosure evictions grows among homeowners, community leaders and some law enforcement officials, a broad civil disobedience campaign is starting in New York and other cities to support families who refuse orders to vacate their homes.

If you go to this link ACORN's Stop Foreclosure Campaign you can join Acorn, get help if you need it, support them with your donations, your good works, join them in civil disobedience and receive hot off the presses e-mails like the one excerpted below.
Through phone trees, Web pages and text-messaging networks, the effort will connect families facing eviction with volunteers who will stand at their side as officers arrive, even if it means risking arrest.
That's right. We're using everything we've got - our voices, our bodies, our spirits. We're keeping families in homes. And, we're not going to stop. Are you with us?
My proudest quote in the (NYT)article today:
"You want to haul us out to jail? Fine. Let the world see how government has been ineffective," Bertha Lewis, Acorn's chief organizer, said in an interview. "Politicians have helped banks, but they haven't helped families in the way that it's needed, and these families are now saying, enough is enough."
