Dear Indiana,
Happy Boxing Day!
In countries around the world, including my home of Canada, today is Boxing Day. It's a working people's holiday, and it's about giving thanks to those in service throughout the year. As the Board Chair of Food & Water Watch, I think it's a good day to reflect on what we're fighting for together. Can you support our year-round work to protect your food and water by making a year-end donation?
This year, we've seen the people rise up against big corporations, speaking out against Wall Street and Big Agriculture alike. Big Business controls our food and water as surely as Wall Street controls our money. Monsanto owns the genetic rights to most of our crops; a handful of giant corporations control every step of our food production, making small farmers pay the price; multinational corporations are buying up public water resources throughout the world; and energy companies are destroying our groundwater with their attempts to extract oil and gas.
Stand up for your food and water: donate to Food & Water Watch.
These corporations get their power from their wealth, but our power comes from you, and from others who care about keeping their food fair and their water safe. Food & Water Watch is funded by individual donors like you. We don't take corporate or government contributions, so that we can work on the issues that matter most. That's why your support is so crucial. Please support Food & Water Watch with a generous year-end donation.
When you give now, your impact will double! Thanks to a matching gift, when you donate before December 31, the value of your donation will be multiplied: a $50 gift will become $100, and a $100 donation will become $200! There has never been a more important time to give.
