Activists 'Shut Down' Nestlé Water Bottling Plant in Sacramento

Environmental and human rights activists, holding plastic “torches” and “pitchforks,” formed human barricades at both entrances to the Nestlé Waters bottling plant in Sacramento at 5:00 a.m. on Friday, March 20, effectively shutting down the company's operations for the day.  

Members of the “Crunch Nestlé Alliance" shouted out a number of chants, including ”We got to fight for our right to water,” “Nestlé, Stop It, Water Not For Profit," and “¿Agua Para Quien? Para Nuestra Gente.”  

The protesters stayed until about 1 pm, but there were no arrests.

Are people pissed because Nestle is bottling water and selling it while California is in the midst of a drought?

9. Nestle's CEO famously said that water is not a human right.

We don't much care for Fascists here. Sometimes they're hard to recognize when they are in the stealth mode.

7. So ... Nestle gets out of the water game.

Then what? Countries that never had the money to develop the infrastructure take it over and shut it down? What does that accomplish?

12. The amount these countries spend on bottled water

would build the plants and infrastructure to have their own water.

13. My first impression is that your comment is totally ignorant, so I'll ask for more information.

Can you please explain and/or document the countries to which you are referring? We're not talking about developed countries...

8. Yes! Start making life utterly miserable for these corporate executives and boards.

GO FOR IT!
