Webinar: Water Wars – How Corporations Play the Long Game

Join leaders in the campaigns to prevent the corporate takeover of water resources in this webinar that will reveal the strategies of the privatizers and discuss the strategies used by advocates to keep public water systems public.

Following a brief overview of new research from In the Public Interest, the panel will review the ways in which corporations used their resources to pass legislation wildly favorable to their interests, including the privatization-paving Act 12 in Pennsylvania, and the ways community activists studied, organized, fought back, and won.
