Water

Water is a fundamental human right. It belongs to all of us, and we should all be guaranteed the water we need to survive and live healthy lives. But increasingly, corporations are seeking to control and profit from water at the expense of people’s lives and well-being. In particular, corporations target Global South countries, communities of color, and low-income communities around the world, exploiting and exacerbating structural racism, income inequality, and legacies of colonialism. As a result, communities of color and low-income communities around the world are disproportionately impacted by water shutoffs, unaffordable rates, and contaminated water. Through our water campaign, we partner with water justice organizers and activists from these communities to prevent water privatization, protect democratic control of water systems, and advance excellent public solutions that provide safe, clean water at rates everyone can afford.
