Right to Water is to petition for global water policy change for the everyday citizen and leading water activists. A website calls users to action by instructing them to select a Water Truism and re-present it in their choice of media: audio, video, photography, etc. The Truisms are declarations intended to challenge the way we think about our human right to water. Alone, these truisms are useful affirmations; together they form a persuasive story. Functioning as more than a collection device for user-submitted content, the site will generate a petition as a downloadable document which will serve as a powerful tool in support policy.

We live in a world where water is limitless for those who can afford it but nonexistent for those who cannot. If the most basic of all human rights and essential to survival. It must be equally accessible to all human beings.

We intend to send the petition to Maude Barlow, the United Nation’s Senior Advisor on water issues. We will promote our initiative both locally and globally with a media campaign, and we aim to develop a partnership with an existing organization such as Public Citizen or the Council of Canadian’s Blue Planet Project.
