The denial of clean, running water to anyone is unconscionable. Water is the most essential requirement for all life—nothing can live without water. Corporate investors have a goal to make billions in profit by privatizing the public’s water, making it available only to those who can pay the skyrocketing price. This is legal under capitalism, an economic system based on the private property interests of the few. In a cooperative society, water and all other necessities of life, would be publicly owned and a basic human right. Water is a battlefront where we can make the need for a new society clear. — People’s Tribune Editorial Board
Water is a human right!
