Nestlé is shameless. Absolutely shameless.

Tim Molina, Courage Campaign

Nestlé has been taking millions of gallons of water out of California’s forests, and we’re suing to stop them. Will you donate to make sure we keep up the legal fight? I’ll donate https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/nestle_water?amount=5&recurring=15&refcode=2605 For years, Nestlé has been illegally pumping up to 28 million gallons of water a year from the San Bernardino National Forest, virtually free of charge. Last October, we sued to stop them — but now we’re being denied access to the documents we need to prove our case. Based on the facts, this should be an open and shut case. But the lawyers on the other side are fighting us tooth and nail to drag it out — and in the meantime, Nestlé is STILL pumping water every day, devastating vulnerable plants and animals in the area. We will NOT let Nestlé get away with taking our water, but the longer this goes on, the more our legal bills pile up. Will you donate to help make sure we have the resources to take on this fight and win? Yes, I’ll donate to help stop Nestlé from taking California’s water. Nestlé’s actions in the San Bernardino National Forest are just outrageous. They’re taking water under a permit that required them to pay just $524 a year to the U.S. Forest Service — a permit that expired 27 years ago. And recently we discovered that the forest service official who for years was responsible for reviewing Nestlé’s permit recently left to take a job at — yep, you guessed it — Nestlé.(1) Maybe the lawyers on the other side are hoping that if they can drag the case out long enough, a nonprofit group like ours won’t be able to stick with it. If so, they have another thing coming — because Courage Campaign and our partners in this effort at the Story of Stuff will never back down from our defense of California’s water. But to take them on and win, we’re counting on you, our members, to donate today.
