SIGN THE PETITION: Help the 3 million people without water in CA

Tim Molina, Courage Campaign

Sept. 14, 2015

Right now in California, 3 million people are without reliable access to safe, clean, and affordable drinking water. THREE MILLION. That’s more people than ALL of the City of Los Angeles.(1)

Click here to join Courage Campaign and SumOfUs.org to tell California’s state leaders this is unacceptable.

The situation is beyond dire, and the stories are heartbreaking. A pastor in East Porterville, CA -- a town of 7,000 -- says that he can see the desperation on people's faces, especially children. On one occasion, a 5-year-old child screamed at the sight of an emergency-water cistern because he’d never seen so much water in one place. Another family took water from a local duck pond to use as DRINKING water.(2) A DUCK POND filled with bacteria and chemicals that could make them sick.

Thousands of stories like this are happening every day. Californians from across the state can relate to these stories, because a life without water is their reality. In California -- the 8th largest economy in the world -- this situation is simply unacceptable. And our state leaders must do something about it.

SIGN THE PETITION to share your outrage and demand action for the 3 million Californians living without affordable access to clean, drinkable water.

With summer temperatures rising -- including temperatures beyond 100 degrees in Tulare County, one of the many places without water -- people simply cannot wait any longer for water.

Click here to let Gov. Brown and state leaders know that the status quo is unacceptable. California must do more to ensure its people have reliable access to safe, clean, and affordable water.

Thank you for standing up for our fellow Californians,

Tim, along with Annie, Eddie, Emma, Laura, Lindsay, Moonyoung, Paul, and Scottie (the Courage team)
