Quick, Nestlé, get your hands off our water! |
The crunch heard 'round the world.
The lastest move by state agencies threatens Oregon's legacy of publicly-held water rights. Last Friday, the Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife submitted an application to transfer the public's water right for Oxbow Springs to the city of Cascade Locks, fast tracking preparations for Nestlé's proposed bottling plant. This is the first time in the state's history that a public water right is proposed to be transfered and sold.
We need you to be there. Thursday, April 16th under the Hawthorne Bridge on the east side, near the esplanade pedestrian/bike approach to the bridge at 7:00AM-9:00AM: WEAR BLUE to represent our public waters! This will be a bridge action targeting our community as they are traversing the Hawthorne Bridge.
P.S. R For background on the Nestlé bottling proposal, see our page on this water giveaway proposal.
