Darlene Battle joined ACORN in 1994 as a member/leader in Philadelphia. In 2001, she moved to Delaware and helped set up a chapter there, where she eventually worked on staff — first doing voter registration drives and later working as an organizer and head organizer. In this interview, she talks about her Delaware ACORN voter registration work, working in a new and small ACORN chapter, as well as the end of ACORN.
