Volunteer with Take Back the Tap
Water is the life-source and scarcity is our reality. With corporations managing the water supply, water will undoubtedly become a prerogative of the rich because the Fortune 500 companies controlling the supply are most concerned with their bottom line. Privatization inherently denies water accessibility, so Take Back the Tap (TBtT) is working to combat the commodification of water. Visit the Facebook page or learn how to get involved by sending an email to takebackthetapucsc@gmail.com.
