Private water companies want to profit on people’s suffering due to lack of water. This year’s World Water Forum — sponsored by those water companies — is sparsely attended while the global water justice movement has organized an alternative gathering with over 2,000 registered participants. The real solutions will be found at this alternative event in communities around the world.

Food & Water Watch Spill the Truth Protest August 25, 2010
With the Horizon disaster now seemingly contained, some may think that all major threats to the Gulf and Gulf Coast communities are also under control. But BP’s Atlantis is a ticking time bomb.
Along with a protest in front of the hearing building, Food & Water Watch delivered over 5500 petitions to the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling during the commission’s hearing in Washington, D.C.
Test your knowledge of BP and what’s really going on with its deepwater oil platforms. With each fact, Food & Water Watch offers recommendations to better protect our oceans and keep the bodies that monitor these platforms independent of industry influence.
A project of Food & Water Watch, the "Spill the Truth" campaign keeps you informed on the latest news regarding BP and the oil spill.

Our water infrastructure is crumbling. Across the nation, a $22 billion shortfall in federal funding for water infrastructure projects causes broken pipes to discharge sewage into our drinking water supplies, and forces communities to privatize their water systems. The town of Pierce, CO is one such community grappling with these challenges.
Food & Water Watch’s Executive Director Wenonah Hauter suggests a course of action for activists concerned about the deteriorating state of our country’s water infrastructure.
