Tenants in New Westminster win protections from extreme heat 🌡️

After years of organizing, ACORN members secured Canada’s first maximum heat bylaw, requiring landlords to keep units below 26°C overnight, with stronger A/C rights and enforcement.

[ACORN International @ACORNGlobal]

In Edinburgh, four landlords have been removed from the landlord register after sustained pressure and direct action from members of @LivingRent_Edi Rent. This is a clear sign that the tide is turning against landlords who thought they could get away with neglect and abuse.

[ACORN International @ACORNGlobal]

Real change starts with members. 💪
Hear from Liam, an @ACORNunion member in @ACORNPreston , on why he joined the union and how organizing together is building power to take on landlords and win for our communities.

ACORN in Catania’s historic Civita neighborhood are organizing to stop a €4M “revitalization” project imposed without consultation and designed for cruise tourism, not residents.
Signed up 50 members at their first public assembly

[ACORN International @ACORNGlobal]

Members took action outside City Hall calling for a strong landlord licensing program in Calgary. Voluntary compliance is not enough. Licensing must be enforceable and include protections to ensure renters have safe, livable homes. @ACORNAB

Keep ICE out of Maryland!

[David Moon @DavidMoon2014]

ICE is spending billions to open immigrant detention camps, including in Maryland's Howard & Washington Counties. ICE's 2026 budget ($75 billion) is larger than Maryland's entire 2026 budget ($67 billion). A majority of people interned by DHS/ICE/CBP have no criminal record.

Big win for @gigwaindia !
Platforms in India have rolled back the unsafe 10-minute delivery model after worker pressure. Riders say this is just the start. They are now demanding fair pay for every order, real safety protections, and a permanent system for collective dialogue.

[ACORN International @ACORNGlobal]

In Delhi and Mumbai, toxic air shut down public works and schools but delivery workers were still forced to work. GIWA launched a strike demanding a pollution surcharge, masks, healthcare, and safety protections. The action disrupted deliveries by 30% and won major public support

[ACORN International @ACORNGlobal]

The challenges facing working class communities are growing, so our organizing must grow stronger. Across the world, ACORN members are taking action, winning change, and building power where it’s needed most. Dare to struggle, dare to win. Let’s make the year ahead one victories.

[ACORN International @ACORNGlobal]

Bob Cratchit’s story shows that working poverty isn’t new; it’s systemic. Today, millions still work full time and struggle to afford basic dignity. In the year ahead, ACORN is organizing to make sure working people can truly live, not just survive.

[ACORN International @ACORNGlobal]

ACORN International is proud to highlight the first action by Living Rent’s new Springburn branch. Tenants took on landlord NG Homes over damp, mould, overcrowding, and unsafe conditions, demanding repairs and respect. Springburn is on it's way to build power. @Glasgow_LR

[ACORN International @ACORNGlobal]

ACORN celebrates Scotland affiliate @Living_Rent which held its national conference this weekend bringing members together to celebrate wins, reflect on challenges, and build skills for the fights ahead. Momentum is rising, they are gearing up for 2026 to be stronger than ever.
