I’m from Durham North Carolina. I’m the co-chair. I’ve lived most of my life there. I have so many concerns about my neighborhood including gang violence. I have voiced my concerns via newspaper and tv. And then became introduced to an ACORN recruiter. One afternoon a gentleman came by. And I really didn’t have time and I really wasn’t interested. But we started talking and here I am today.
We have a slum lord campaign. We have had a successful gang violence campaign. The other major campaign is beautification.
And we are also interested in jobs and activities for the youth.
