No Tank Farms Near Our Homes/
No Granjas de Tanques Cerca de Nuestros Hogares

PODER is organizing in solidarity with the McCall neighborhood to prevent tank farms to be built 500ft from homes. Austin has already seen the tragic consequences of Tank Farms being built next to homes: thousands of low income people of color dying and suffering from severe health issues due to the pollution. We cannot let this racist history repeat itself.

​PODER se está organizando en solidaridad con el barrio de McCall para evitar que se construyan granjas a 500 pies de nuestros hogares. Austin ya ha visto las trágicas consecuencias de la construcción de granjass de tanques al lado de hogares: miles de personas de color con bajos ingresos muriendo y sufriendo de problemas graves de salud por la contaminación. No podemos dejar que esta historia racista se repita.

PODER

PODER (People Organized in Defense of Earth and Her Resources) is a women led, people of color grassroots social justice organization formed in 1991 to increase the participation of residents of East Austin in decisions related to the economic development and environmental protection of our communities. Our mission is to redefine environmental issues as social and economic justice issues, and collectively set our own agenda to address these concerns as basic human rights.  We seek to empower our communities through education, advocacy and action.
