Friends,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>Join Massachusetts Global Action/encuentro 5 as we host a community conversation about the Human Right to Water. This community-based event brings together local activists and community residents to address both local and global concerns about the affordability and security of water supplies. Globally, the United Nations Secretary General has framed a stark picture, "We live in an increasingly water insecure world where demand often
outstrips supply and where water quality often fails to meet minimum
standards. Under current trends, future demands for water will not be met." (see attached). Locally, we are concerned about the ever-increasing price of water, its impact on utility costs and rent, and long-term plans for new infrastructure. This meeting will prepare for a dialogue with policy makers including seekers of public office and the Boston Water and Sewer Commission.<br>
