Annotation of

People Organizing to Demand Environmental and Economic Justice (PODER)

In response to

Does this organization claim to have a new or unique way of addressing the problems that they work on? Does their approach point to or suggest problems with other approaches?

Among the organizations I have looked at thus far, PODER offers programming and mentorship opportunities specifically to mobilize the youth; this is not something they claim to be as unique and singular to their organization, but when compared to the others, this proactive attempt to drive interest and importance of environmental issues to youth is a great strategy to implement for future ecological justice activists, advocates, and champions.
