<P><STRONG>Nestlé has a stranglehold on the small town of Vittel,
France.</STRONG><BR><BR>Year after year, it pumps millions of
gallons of precious groundwater from the town to sell at an
outrageous markup. And year after year, Vittel’s people watch as
their water levels plummet. <STRONG>They’re now facing their fourth
straight year of drought!</STRONG><BR><BR>It’s an ecological
disaster, but <STRONG>a small group of brave residents is organizing
their community to fight back against this corporate giant -- and
they need our help.</STRONG><BR><BR>Nestlé is already facing a
lawsuit in France for pumping water without permission. And with
local groups on the offensive from the US to Canada to Switzerland,
the company is in panic mode. <STRONG>After years of pumping Vittel
dry, this could finally be the moment they sound the retreat and
leave this town in peace.</STRONG><BR><BR>That’s exactly what these
<STRONG>volunteer residents are fighting for -- but right now
they’re paying for everything out of their own pocket:</STRONG>
expert legal advice, demonstrations, and travel for advocacy
meetings. And unless we help them, they’ll run out of money in
weeks.<BR><BR>Will you <STRONG>help these water warriors organize
their community and beat back Nestlé’s greed?</STRONG></P>

<P>Nestlé has all but taken over the region, and even elected
officials are afraid of speaking out against this bottling giant.
Thanks to their inaction, the water level is now TEN METERS below
its natural level. <BR><BR>But <STRONG>against all odds, this small
group of retired volunteers is actually winning -- slowly but
surely.</STRONG> Just last year, residents -- with the support of
SumOfUs members -- flooded a public consultation and forced the
government to cancel an absurd pipeline project that would have cost
the town tens of millions of Euros to get their water elsewhere…
just to avoid upsetting Nestlé!<BR><BR>But that victory came at a
huge financial cost, and now <STRONG>just as the town inches closer
to freeing itself from Nestlé’s grasp, the whole movement could go
broke.</STRONG><BR><BR>We can help. <STRONG>Chip in and help this
town break Nestlé’s stranglehold on their water, for good:</STRONG> <!--- DONOR ---></P>
