Preview the World Water Day release of "The Story of Bottled Water"



Defending Water for Life
"The Story of Bottled Water" is being released on March 22, World Water Day. In just seven minutes the video tells how corporations built a PR campaign to discredit public drinking water and the once-common water fountain in favor of individual consumers purchasing single servings of water in plastic bottles.

Watch the trailer here and read more about the release here. Recommend the video to friends--let's get it viral and get the message out.

Ending Corporate Rule:
Amend our Constitution, fund our elections



What's New...
Madison, WI Rally against SCOTUS decision and corporate personhood



Spread the word: Print the brochure "Corporations are not People" and learn how to take back our rights


The Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United v. FEC
allows corporate financing of independent political campaigns,
scraps campaign finance law in 24 states, and further entrenches corporate rule in our nation. We need public funding for elections and an end to the legal fiction of corporate personhood.
