JOHN SKINNER
"Challenging Corporate Control of Water"

John Skinner is a researcher with Corporate Accountability International, a
non-profit organization based in Boston that runs grassroots campaigns
targeting corporate abuses. At CAI he works primarily on the "Think Outside
the Bottle" campaign, where he studies the ways that transnational companies
are seeking to control access to water and how we can organize to prevent
this.

Skinner states: we are in the middle of a global water crisis! From water
bottling to privatization of municipal water systems, corporations are
attempting to commodify Earth's most essential resource. We must work now to
guarantee the human right to water and stop water privateers around the
world that profit by controlling this public resource.
