Former ACORN, SEIU Activist Moves From White House To DNC

Gaspard’s role in the Obama machine has been a target of conservative criticism in the past given his associations with activist organizations like disgraced community organization ACORN. Gaspard donated tends of thousands of dollars to ACORN in the past and worked for New York’s Working Families Party (WFP), a political entity “fighting for a more just world,” formed by a coalition of labor unions, ACORN and other community organizations. He also was an organizer for a New Jersey chapter of the New Party — a collaborative effort between ACORN and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
