PODER, People Organized in Defense of Earth and her Resources, was formed to increase East Austin residents’ participation in corporate and government decisions related to economic development, environmental hazards, and the impact on our East Austin neighborhoods.

SEMATECH is a non-profit research consortium funded by the federal government and several of the largest U.S.-owned semi-conductor manufacturers in Montopolis, a predominantly Latino neighborhood.
As a result of this meeting, and our interest in issues affecting our community, several of the local participants realized the need to form an organization to address the social, economic, and environmental impacts on East Austin’s communities of color
