Our Poder

What Is Our Poder?

 

Our Impact

PODER has been organizing since the first action action back in 2016 when we organized our first rally in support of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that was rescinded by the Trump Administration. Since then, we have organized various other rallies attended by thousands of community members from across Idaho.

Our programs and campaigns are unique to the state of Idaho’s Undocumented and Latinx community. We have grown from an organization that focuses on organizing to one that has four different program and advocacy projects.
