Keeping Water Public: Webinar & Panel Discussion ft. Maude Barlow (2026)

Check out this webinar exploring the need to keep drinking water utilities in the realm of public & Indigenous stewardship, featuring an opening keynote from Canadian water advocate Maude Barlow and a panel discussion with Rebecca Kolarich (Environmental Defence), Dan Hales (CUPE), and Sarah Alexander (Water Watchers). Nearly all experiments in privatizing public water services have failed globally, leading to higher rates and lower water quality. Yet today, cities, provinces, and states across North America are pushing for privatized water utilities. Learn more about this nefarious business profiteering from the human right to water and how we can build the conditions for public water to become an enduring principle of our society. Water is life and we refuse to take that simple fact for granted. Water for life, not profit!
