People Organizing to Demand Environmental & Economic Rights

People Organizing for Environmental & Economic Rights (PODER) is a grassroots environmental and economic justice organization based in San Francisco, CA. Founded in 1991, PODER organizes with Latino immigrant families and youth in the Mission, Excelsior and other southeast San Francisco neighborhoods to create people powered solutions that are locally based, community-governed and environmentally just. We nurture everyday people’s leadership, regenerate our cultures, and strengthen community power.
