Flint residents march in Lansing, MI at the capitol about the governor’s decision to shut down water distribution in Flint before the toxic pipes are fixed. While Nestlé gets an all-you-can-drink buffet of Michigan water for a mere $200 annual fee, Flint residents still can’t trust that their water is safe.

The articles below highlight water and environmental struggles in Flint, Detroit, Chicago, South Carolina, West Virginia, and Louisiana. With these stories we continue to expose the increased poisoning, fracking, rising price, and privatization of our life-sustaining water by giant corporations. As corporations try to buy up everything public, destroying the Earth in the process, people are standing up, demanding that government do what it is supposed to do: keep water affordable and safe, and away from big money interests, and defend the Earth.
Water warriors are pointing to the need for a national movement that unites us all in this fight. The People’s Tribune opens its pages to this fight. Send stories to info@peoplestribune.org
