Nearly a dozen local grassroots efforts have emerged over the last several years to block or severely constrain Nestlé bottling operations.
A generous donor has offered us $20,000 to provide small grants to grassroots groups fighting to return control over local water resources to the citizens. But to make it work, we need our Community’s support!
Will you pitch in to support these inspiring grassroots changemakers?
Across the country, valiant efforts to protect local water have been led by a small group of committed local citizens, most with no specialized training and a shoestring budget or no budget at all. With little more than pluck and determination, they’ve taken on one of the biggest corporations in the world and prevailed.
With our Community’s support, we’ve provided these heroes with strategic advice and legal support, made films highlighting their work, and called on you to apply pressure on Nestlé and other water privatizers. Your solidarity with the groups fighting the good fight on the ground has been deeply appreciated.
But until now, we haven’t had the ability to offer the financial support that these groups really need to protect their water for good—funds to print materials, hire scientists or lawyers, or organize public events to educate and organize.
With your help, we can provide that support. Will you pitch in?
