# Thu Aug 19 Who Owns Water? Protecting the World's Water
from Corporate Takeover http://www.citizen.org / water
Fortune magazine has predicted that "water is the oil of the 21
century," and now corporations are rushing to invest in the new
get-rich economy of water. Giant water, energy, food, and shipping
companies have plans to buy water rights, privatize publicly-owned
water systems, promote bottled water, and sell "bulk" water by
transporting it from water rich areas to thirsty markets. As the
world's water becomes scarcer and corporations seek to exploit this
scarcity for profit, people around the world are losing ownership and
control of water resources on which they depend. But water is a human
right; to the extent one has the right to live, one has the right to
water.
Join us for a discussion with Juliette Beck and John Gibler of Public
Citizen's Water for All Campaign. Public Citizen's Water for All
Campaign is dedicated to protecting water as a common resource,
stopping water privatization and bulk water sales, and defending
access to clean and affordable water around the world. Come hear how
people in California and around the world - from Stockton and Gualala
to Bolivia and Bangladesh - are defending the global commons and our
right to water, and find out how you can help. 7 pm - 9 pm
