Los Angeles Residents March Against Water Privatization


L.A. residents are speaking out for sustainable water management at the March for Water on March 22nd.

Events kick off at 9am at the Los Angeles State Historic Park, and the march is at 10. The event is bottled-water free, so participants should bring their own reusable containers. There will be water to refill your bottle at the event. They’re also looking for volunteers to help outt. The folks at Food & Water Watch say:

Our water is being mismanaged. Without your voice, lawmakers and profiteers will continue to exploit the headlines and win corporate profits and political advantage.

You have two opportunities to join us and show your power. Start the march at 9AM or meet us for the noon celebration.

Organized by a wide coalition promoting responsible and sustainable water use, this march has broad support, but it won’t work without YOU.

They announced the march at a screening of FLOW - Irena Salina’s award-winning documentary about the world water crisis. Check out the trailer for FLOW:

Get heard!

Water privatization effects us all - not just folks in the Los Angeles area. If you want to speak out, you can sign the petition calling for “a 31st article to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, establishing access to clean and potable water as a fundamental human right.” For more details about the march and how you can get involved, check out the March for Water website.
