WATER: water fountainMore than 600 people have already told their Congress member to support the Water for the World resolution. If have not already added your voice please do so today. Help us break the 1000 mark!

On February 29, Food & Water Watch will sponsor a congressional briefing to get Congress to pay attention to the global water crisis. We are using this opportunity to highlight the Water for the World Resolution introduced by Rep. Schakowsky in December 2007.

No one can survive without water, but today as many as 1.4 billion people struggle daily without access to an adequate water supply and 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation.

The resolution addresses the global water crisis and prioritizes communities currently without reliable access to this vital resource. Water is a fundamental human right, and access to water can mean the difference between life and death, sickness and health, cyclical poverty and economic development.

This is your chance to make a difference.
