Water for Life, Not for Profit
 

Water is a human and environmental right, intimately linked to peace. With climate change and over use, water has become scarce. How do we insure there is water for everyone and for the ecosystem renewal? Key themes in this year's Lane Peace Symposium are:

  • The destructiveness of water privatization.
  • Water as a social justice issue.
  • Water and justice in Oregon.
  • Water and the rights of Indian peoples to sovereignty over their homelands.
  • Water and the sacredness of all life, the return of the Salmon to the Winnemem Wintu tribal homelands.
