PODER is an inter-generational organization. We organize with families — adults, youth, children and seniors. We are committed to developing a new generation of leaders, particularly Latino immigrant youth, to transform our neighborhoods, the City and society for years to come. Together, we foster new leaders for movements for immigrant rights and environmental, economic and climate justice.
We believe that meaningful democracy can only come about if all communities are actively involved in coming up with solutions to the challenges facing the City. That means removing language barriers for the approximately 34% of San Franciscans who are immigrants and immigrant communities having the right to live without fear of deportations. It also means increasing the civic participation of all.
Recruiting members and building community are central to our work. Our members engage in various activities to raise political awareness and challenge the status quo. We aim to build a profound economic and environmental justice movement to heal Mother Earth, sustain localized economies and foster healthy development.
We recognize that no single organization can achieve environmental and economic justice on its own. For that reason, PODER forges strategic alliances throughout San Francisco, the state of California, the nation and internationally on broad-based efforts to build a powerful movement for environmental, social and climate justice.
