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.

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!
Jan 31
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.

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

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.
