Our Water Progam aims to develop citizen capacities for education and action on water justice issues in communities. This includes issues like the privatization of water services, bulk water exports, water takings, water security and bottled water. Currently, a major focus of our work is on bottled water, through our Inside the Bottle campaign. Our program has developed a comprehensive report on the bottled water industry, the major corporate players, the key social, environmental and health isues at stake, along with a campaign tool kit for community-based action. We also seek to build connections through solidarity work with communities and workers all over the world to strengthen the global water justice movement and fortify our local struggles, while also working towards building social alternatives for water management.
