I mean, sometimes my wife struggles with water even to wash things because the water comes out very—smells very bad, it stinks like rotten, something like that. It smells really bad, and the people don’t even think about drinking it. Even when you want to brush your teeth, we don’t want to do it with that water.” - Don Javier https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d9e5f77619d2a9f89795d/1621873163809-DGFXHJRW4AX22AUJWCWV/OWF+Instagram+Campaign_TomasBartolo_English.jpg Our Vision - Make it stand out “Es muy importante crear espacios de conversaciones en nuestras comunidades sobre nuestro medio ambiente y el agua, enriquece nuestro conocimiento sobre prácticas de conservación que podemos implementar todos los días, a la misma vez que amplía nuestra conciencia para seguir abogando para garantizar acceso al agua limpia y accesible para todos. “ “It is very important to create spaces for conversations in our communities about our environment and water, it enriches our knowledge about conservation practices that we can implement every day, at the same time that it broadens our awareness to continue advocating to guarantee access to clean water and accessible to all.” - Tomás Bartolo, PCUN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d9e5f77619d2a9f89795d/1621873229121-GILDU9PA5X3HZL2WVSE3/OWF+Instagram+Campaign_Ashia.jpg Our Vision - Make it stand out “I think that that experience with that elder from the Ponca tribe has really taught me what it means to pray with water and to cleanse myself with water.” — Ashia (Klamath, Eugene) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d9e5f77619d2a9f89795d/1621873119386-ARJW99CRBB3CKOU8TOSB/OWF+Instagram+Campaign_Christina.jpg Our Vision - Make it stand out “They say the water is good, but I’m not so sure because when I use it to cook, it looks as if it were dirty.” - Christina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d9e5f77619d2a9f89795d/1621873178988-S7HAFFSEE221KSDYB76L/OWF+Instagram+Campaign_Jairaj+Singh.jpg Our Vision - Make it stand out “There is confusion around water quality and water sources, and how to interpret water bills . . . affordability is a concern and water rates are too expensive for the quality of water our communities feel they are receiving. The solutions to the issue of mistrust and affordability can be addressed by continuing to center our frontline communities - who are being impacted first and worst - into decision-making spaces.
