We sit here in silence, hiding away from the world from threats and people who want to harm you and your name. The pain is real while you are given dirty looks wherever you go, and people run the other way as they believe the harsh things that are not true. I don't wish this on anyone.

Nobody understands what it's like to have serious things that are not true that you are accused of in the community from ACORN that everyone believes to the point you silenced across the city you live in. Now you hide in your home away from the toxic and lies. The paid organizers are bad people.

Marcel Reid Meet this week's Whistleblower of the Week, ACORN whistleblower Marcel Reid.

This has happened to others as well. Read this full article to fully understand how serious all of this is. This very thing has happened to me. For opening my mouth on the truth. whistleblowersblog.org/whistleblowe...

We need real affordable housing built for everyone. All levels of governments do not care because they are not in the situation. They get voted into government based on false promises. It's all about pay cheques, pensions, and personal agendas for them. Housing is a human right ✊️

Now I sit here while lies are made up about me to silence me more across the city I live in. I now know that with me leaving activism and everything, it's not good enough. ACORN wants my existence gone for good in my community because im a threat, so paid organizers can go on with corruption.

We now have to look for the corruption in our communities and in government and stay clear from them all. Activism has some tainted people in it. We must stay true to ourselves and fight for meaningful change, as well as pick up anyone who is left behind. We must find it in ourselves to stay true.

What we know is that the system is broken, and so are the paid organizers at ACORN. What happened to politicians being impartial? What happened to them not punching down? Only for a selected few, politicians are elected to make change for the better, and these days, that's not the case.

As we now look for help with the issues we are going through with politicians and we now sit here without help or support even. This all feels like a bad dream. What ever happened to the community being there for the community? It's all an act for some who are doing things for personal gain.

People who we never said anything to of what happened to us will not even talk to us or look at us and walk away at big events. So if we have not said anything, then how would so many know and have an issue. This behavior is very toxic and silences people in our community.

We have even had new and a few older members tell us recently that they were told we are gone because we were to controlling, this again is not true and very toxic that the paid organizers are doing this brainwashing. So if paid organizers don't like you, it becomes very toxic and worse.

ACORN paid organizers claim to be membership fee ran and independent. That's why they charge. But they get more grants and public funding than they do from total membership fee's. They keep this from the membership from knowing. Also, their financial reports are not easy to find.

We believe in pushing for change for everyone. We believe that everyone should be there for each other. We believe in pushing all levels of governments to look after everyone and lift everyone up equally where nobody is left behind with all voices heard on many issues. This is real activism. ✊️

There are good activists and organizations out there. But ACORN Canada, ACORN international, and ACORN GLOBAL Enterprises are all one organization that have paid organizers who should be accountable by law for their actions. Let us all be one for a better world together ✊️

We want everyone to remember that you are responsible for your actions and silencing people in our community, and the really bad things you are doing will all come out into the public very soon. We will no longer be silenced. You are accountable for your actions.

Everyone has played a big part in all of this. Because of this, i am ready to go fully public on the truth about ACORN and everything they have done and continue to do to others. This is why there are all new members' faces in ACORN. ⏬️

Being silenced and being treated like you do not belong in the city you were born and raised is disgusting. Even some politicians have done the same thing to my wife and I. Truth is the very same paid organizers that are destroying people's lives behind the scenes while laughing. ⏬️

I must also not forget to mention that after we left the organization, many members from all chaptors of ACORN had quit the organization who left on their own. I was accused again by paid organizers of spreading hate, which is not true. ⏬️

During all this time being silenced, i have received threats, and we have been silenced in the very city we live in. And noticed people have made up their mind about me without hearing our side of the story. So now we are doing the same work, but behind the background in virtual meetings, calls ⏬️

I started doing my research and noticed that all my concerns were true and honest, and I then revised we were silenced so nobody would give us the time of day to hear us speak on the illegal things ACORN paid organizers were doing, as well wrongdoing with the organization. ⏬️

So I sat here in my home for 5 years hiding g from the public because when I did go out to events, everyone would avoid my wife and I from speaking. Nobody would talk to us or be seen around us. ⏬️

This is when I noticed that my wife and I were being silenced in my own city by so many organizations, politicians, and others because everyone believed what had been made up about us which was completely not true.

I asked him why can't we all work together as activists on the very issues that qe are aligned with. He told me nobody wanted to work with me in the city. Because I was labeled as a misogynist, toxic, and more by ACORN, and he said as well by a few others. ⏬️

That's when things got really serious. During covid, I was silenced in my community by the paid organizers from ACORN who spread toxic lies about me in the city i live in. I was contacted by an outsider activist during covid who wanted to speak on a housing issue. That's when I asked ⏬️

So I did, and my words were twisted by the top paid organizer and sent to the national board to review and answer me. The top paid organizer twisted my words in the email to make me look bad to the national because of that, they accepted my resignation. ⏬️

By the time i was done asking all paid organizers about how they treated my wife and I, they were all very upset. I was told to send an email about my concerns to the head paid organizer, so I did. I sent an email explaining what I expected from them, and my words were twisted by the top organizer ⏬️

The head paid organizer was angry because I was asking him questions about his behavior. He was on video, and he was swearing, grabbing his hair and more on video. He even yelled at his boss and said,"This was her fault, allowing me to ask questions. Hes not want to be accountable for his actions ⏬️

So, a virtual meeting started on Zoom, I had written out my questions for each paid officer who was at the meeting of my concerns, and a fellow member was also at the meeting to listen in to make sure I would be OK and a witness. I started asking questions, and that's when it got heated ⏬️

That's when I said that i wanted a virtual meeting with the head paid organizers and the member who sat on the national board who also reached out to me because she could feel the tension and she agreed with me and said she felt the same way with the field director before. ⏬️
