Ep 23 - Peggy Case

State of Water

Peggy Case comes from a long history of environmental and social justice activism. She’s a community organizer, editor, writer, former grade school teacher, a lifelong gardener, a singer, a beekeeper and permaculture enthusiast. As President of Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation, she has worked tirelessly to end the privatization of our water by a multinational corporation. For over a decade, Peggy and her organization have been hard at work fighting Nestle Waters North America in the court system. During a time of multiple clean water crises in our state, Nestle has been pumping millions of gallons of clean Michigan water for next to nothing, making millions while exploiting the communities and environments they depend on. Peggy’s interview is not only a sobering look at Nestle’s activity over the last decade, more importantly, it's an inspiring testimony of a true water protector who won’t back down. /// State of Water is a program of the Michigan-based non-profit organization Title Track, and is powered by the Clean Water Campaign for Michigan. The podcast is made possible through a generous contribution from the Esperance Foundation. /// EPISODE 23 / Peggy Case interviewed by Seth Bernard / Produced, edited and mixed by Dan Rickabus / Narrators - Alex Smith, Ben Darcie, Dan Rickabus, Jenny Jones, Angela Gallegos, Rachel Marco-Havens / Graphic by Dani Renwick of Charmellow Design / Theme Music - Mike Savina, Seth Bernard & Dan Rickabus / Featured Music - "Light on Earthright" by Dan Rickabus
