DESCRIPTION:Who Owns Water?  Protecting the World’s Water from Corporate Takeover  
 Fortune magazine has predicted that “water is the oil of the 21st 
 century,” and now corporations are rushing to invest in the new get-rich 
 economy of water.  Giant water, energy, food, and shipping companies have 
 plans to buy water rights, privatize publicly-owned water systems, promote 
 bottled water, and sell “bulk” water by transporting it from rich areas 
 to thirsty markets.  As the world’s water becomes scarcer and 
 corporations seek to exploit this scarcity for profit, people around the 
 world are losing ownership and control of water resources on which they 
 depend.  But water is a human right; to the extent that one has the right 
 to live, one has the right to water.  Join us for a discussion with 
 Juliette Beck and John Gibler of Public Citizen’s Water for All Campaign. 
  Public Citizen’s Water for All Campaign is dedicated to protecting water 
 as a common resource, stopping water privatization and bulk water sales, 
 and defending access to clean and affordable water around the world.  Come 
 hear how people in California and around the world – from Stockton and 
 Gualala to Bolivia and Bangladesh – are defending the global commons and 
 our right to water.  Thursday, August 19, 2004  Free  7 PM - 9 PM  The
