DESCRIPTION:California Communities  Celebrate Water Democracy  A Unique U.N. World 
 Environment Day 2005 Event  What:	Celebrating Water Democracy: A 
 collaborative forum in support of a new global initiative demanding an 
 international convention on the right to water. Celebrating Water Democracy 
 will feature presentations from community water activists and dialogue with 
 international guests. A UN World Environment Day 2005 Event  When:	June 2, 
 2005 - 2:30pm-4:30pm   Where: 	The Sony Metreon, Fourth Floor Terrace, 101 
 Fourth Street, San Francisco  Why:	The world is facing a water crisis. By 
 2025 two-thirds of the world's population may run short of fresh drinking 
 water. An International Convention on the Right to Water would keep water 
 available to the public by taking precedence over international trade laws 
 that grant corporations rights to commodify and privatize water/water 
 utilities. It would also give communities a powerful tool to hold their 
 governments accountable for providing safe water for all.  From Bolivia to 
 Bayview-Hunter's Point, from Ghana to Alpaugh in California's Central 
 Valley, communities are organizing for the right to safe and affordable 
 water. Celebrating Water Democracy will feature first-hand testimony from 
 ten community representatives about these struggles.  Who:	Collaborating 
 organizations include: Public Citizen's Water for All, Environmental 
 Justice Coalition for Water, Ghana National Coalition Against Privatization 
 of Water, International Working Group on the Convention on the Right to 
 Water, Communities for a Better Alpaugh, African International Mission, 
 Hesperian Foundation, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Women of Africa, 
 Alliance for Democracy, Africa International Mission, Priority Africa 
 Network, National Wildlife Federation, People's Health Foundation, and 
 others.  \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2005/05/20/66843.php
