All new services at ACORN have been suspended until a law firm reviews the group’s management and services.

New York ACORN prides itself on standing up for some of the poorest people in the city. But a recent scandal has threatened to bring the group down. Now, roles have changed and the large, powerful organization is asking its 45,000 members to stand up for ACORN.

WNYC’s Cindy Rodriguez has this report:
