Last month, Corporate Accountability International endorsed a major action—including a vigil outside the Coke bottling plant—by our allies in Mehdiganj, India. We stand with them in challenging Coke’s threat to groundwater resources and to demand that the soft drink giant stop exploiting local communities. Nearly one month into this action, the protest is growing.
Corporations, like Coke, cannot turn water into a profit-driven commodity and determine who gets it and who doesn’t. So please take action today! Tell Coke’s CEO Neville Isdell that you are joining people around the world in challenging corporate control of our water.
Send a letter to the following decision maker(s): CEO Neville Isdell
Below is the sample letter:
Subject: Our water is not for sale!
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
The basic human right to water is at risk and people's lives are at stake. Over one billion people don't have access to safe water to drink and corporations are contributing to this problem by turning water into a profit-driven commodity.
As Coke's top executives meet this week in Wilmington, I am joining people from around the world in a common refrain: "Our water is not for sale."
We are calling on Coke to:
Stop interfering in policies that protect our water; Never reopen its plant in Plachimada; Close its plant in Mehdiganj; Pay for the damage done to affected communities.
I await your prompt reply.
Sincerely,
