With $800 million, California could rehire 12,000 teachers that were laid off this spring. We could pay for four years of the Healthy Families program, which insures 900,000 children in California. Those state parks that the Governor threatened to close last year? We could run them for 57 years.

Or we could pay for one year of principal and interest on the Water Bond to set the stage for building a peripheral canal through the Delta and to give corporate agribusiness, private water companies and developers more control of our water. All at the expense of Delta family farmers and Delta fisheries.

We’re part of a statewide campaign that includes the Sierra Club, Clean Water Action, and many other groups. The No on the Water Bond coalition is working against big money and big power to defeat the Water Bond in November.

By signing up for the coalition’s action alert list, you’ll learn about ways to get involved, be the first to see the new social media tools and viral videos we’ll be producing, and learn more about this disastrous bond. Join the campaign and tell your friends!

Bond supporters are making it sound like a good idea, but don’t be deceived: It’s a con. Backed by the Governor, developers, and wealthy agribusinesses, the bond would build more dams and allow private interests to control more of our water. Projects in the bond that we support, like conservation, will not be funded for years if ever. We must oppose this bond and work for better water policies that truly benefit the public.

There are a lot of good things that California could do with $800 million a year. Building more dams isn’t one of them. Don’t be conned by the water bond — join the coalition’s people-powered campaign to defeat the bond!

Thanks for taking action,
