ACRI meaning in Community ?

The American Civil Rights Institute is an American conservative non-profit organization that opposes affirmative action. It was founded by Ward Connerly and Thomas L. "Dusty" Rhodes in 1996 in Sacramento, California. As of 2017 it operates from a mailing address in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. It has also been called the American Civil Rights Coalition.

The organization describes itself as "a national civil rights organization created to educate the public on the harms of racial and gender preferences." It argues that programs intended to help minorities discriminate against non-miniority people. Ward Connerly describes his work as "fiercely committed to the ideal of a color-blind America." The organization's central goals are opposed by a majority of civil rights activists.

The organization pays an unusually large amount of money to its executive, at times exceeding half the organization's total revenue. The American Conservative observed that "Connerly cashes in" on affirmative action, making millions of dollars.
