Julia Boyd joined ACORN as a volunteer member in the 1980s. In this interview, Boyd describes in great detail the flyer she received under her door for a meeting at a nearby church, and how meeting Jon Kest, Fran Streich, Steve Kest and Cate Poe led to her almost 40 year participation in ACORN and local activism. She talks about housing, education and jobs as the key campaigns ACORN advocated and won for the community. Julia passed away not long after this interview.
