YOU ARE THE MOVEMENT: 20 YEARS OF FOOD & WATER WATCH
Twenty years ago, Food & Water Watch was founded to defend the resources we all depend on to live and thrive: our food and water. Since then, thanks to caring people like you, we’ve
grown from a team of a dozen activists to a movement with a nationwide presence. See how far we’ve come together!
Together we’ve: • Protected communities from polluting factory farms in 11 states, using policy tools from legislation to regulatory changes • Won 50+ water privatization fights, including • Blocked a half dozen+ bottled water facilities, from Maine to Oregon • Blocked dozens of fossil fuel projects like pipelines and dirty power plants, from New York to Virginia, California to New Jersey • Banned fracking in 4 states and hundreds of counties and towns in Chicago, Milwaukee, and San Diego You’ve won meaningful protections for our food, water, and climate! Over the past 20 years, your gener- osity has powered wins like shutting down polluting factory farms and fossil fuel projects, securing federal funding for clean energy and water infrastructure, passing historic clean water and food safety protections, and more.

In 2016, Food & Water Watch worked with local activists in Hood River County, Oregon, to rally against and ultimately stop Nestlé's plan to build a water-bottling plant.
