Fair Banking
ACORN Canada has been working since 2005 to end predatory lending. Our national Fair Banking campaign calls on the federal government to legislate the banking sector to stop pushing low and moderate income families to predatory banking services through exclusionary business practices.

2. Spreading the word using Social Media
2. Spreading the word using Social Media
Start by inviting people you know to join ACORN and spread the word on campaigns. You can do this by posting on social media, by email, by phone, or in person.
Social media is a useful tool for spreading the word on our campaigns. Be sure to ‘like’ or ‘follow’ ACORN Canada on Facebook (check if there’s a local group like Toronto ACORN, too), Twitter, or other forms of social media.
When posting on Facebook, keep these things in mind:
- When you post or share on your wall, be sure to include text – you can highlight something about the campaign or say why you care about this issue
- Photos or images draw attention, so if you can, share photos of you or others in your community taking action
- ‘Tag’ ACORN by typing @ and then the group name, like @ACORN Canada or @Ottawa ACORN
- Remember to include any relevant hashtags for a campaign or event, like #FairBanking or #InternetForAll
