[1]Aerial shot of the sinkhole

Indigenous activists in Mexico stopped Danone stealing their precious
water before, but now the company is back.

Will you help the water defenders get rid of Danone for good?

John,

“Drought equals death.” These are the words from the Indigenous group
Pueblos Unidos, and exactly what Danone is contributing to in a small
Mexican town.

I've seen with my own eyes the devastating impact in the region: the river
is drying up, and farmers are struggling to grow crops.

Last year, Indigenous activists forced Danone to shut down its water
pumping plant. But now they are back. 

Danone spends millions branding itself as a sustainable water company. If
we raise the alarm that this greedy corporation is circling this small
town's already scarce water supply, we can shame executives to leave the
region for good. Sign now:

Despite Danone operations being shut down in Juan C Bonilla town last
year, they are now back with the excuse to use the plant as a 'warehouse'.
But the local community is rightly concerned they will start pumping water
again at any minute. In fact, a stadium-sized sinkhole appeared near to
where a Danone has been extracting water for decades, and it keeps
growing. The pile of evidence keeps mounting…

Enough!

Danone's executives are making sure their dirty secrets in Mexico are
hidden from the general public: so let’s make sure people around the world
know the truth!

The communities have been fighting hard, but they need international
support to pressure the company to leave altogether. Let's put the public
spotlight on Danone and force the company to change course.

SumOfUs helped to get Pure Blue out of New Zealand, we know we can do the
same with Danone in Mexico!
