Poison Water
Individuals, families, livestock, and land in our communities are often poisoned by water contaminated by companies irresponsibly dumping chemicals into the water sources. When this happens, these companies must be held accountable for the harm they’ve caused in our communities.
Often the poisoning results in serious injury and death by various forms of cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
