Here’s an update on what happened to the Nestlé Goliath in Fryeburg, Maine, this week. The video link below may remind all of us of what is at stake when private corporations seek to control and do as they please with our natural, in this case water, resources. (JdeCP) __________________ [Message from Food & Water Watch] Victory for Public Water in Maine! Earlier today, the Public Utilities Commission in Maine released a report, siding with us against Poland Spring and Nestlé, its parent company. Nestlé has been pushing the town of Fryeburg, Maine to turn over its water system in a contract that could last as long as 45 years. After a flood of support from our members, we were able to afford a lawyer to take Nestlé on and stop this contract from going through. Defeating Nestlé in Maine is a huge victory for everyones right to public water, in Fryeburg and around the world. Nestlé is notorious for trying to bully communities to hand over public water rights for their own private gain. Today, we showed Nestlé that we stand on the right side of the law, and that when we come together, they cant bully us. . . . . Thank you for being a part of this progress. Continuing to win on these critical issues wont be possible without your action and support. Help us continue to build education and advocacy efforts . . . . Onward, Wenonah Hauter Executive Director Food & Water Watch [email protected] https://youtube/watch?v=NZ7g2PAEJx4
