[Donate $1 now]( Dear {NAME}, Osceola Township, with a population of less than 2,000, is being sued by Nestlé so it can pump even more water from Michigan to sell at a huge profit. When the Township denied Nestlé's application to build a booster station to pump 400 gallons of water per minute, Nestlé got mad and sued. The hearing starts in just two weeks and Osceola Township is already $30,000 in debt from fighting Nestlé. Osceola Township members just reached out to SumOfUs seeking our help to pay for the legal fees knowing that time and time again, you've stopped Nestlé all over the world.

[Yes, I'll chip in $1 now to help take on Nestlé.]( Osceola Township is just up the road from Flint, where residents still don’t have access to clean water and are suffering through one of the longest and most notorious water crises in North America in years. Over 375,000 SumOfUs members have fought to keep Nestlé from pumping millions of gallons of water in Michigan. And so far, Nestlé hasn’t been able to secure the permit it needs. Nestlé is counting on the tiny size of Osceola Township and its limited resources to force them to buckle under the financial might of Nestlé’s multi-billion dollar corporate empire. What Nestlé isn’t counting on, though, is the power of people like you. If each of us contributes a little to the legal fight, we can show Nestlé that together we are stronger and won’t submit to its intimidation tactics.
