10 year old speaks out: “You Need Water to Survive”

“People are scared their water will be cut off. You need water to survive. You die without it. And if they cut your water off, they can take your kids away. Why is this happening? Because they want to get the poor people out and bring the rich people in. They will make a lot more money with rich people. They also cut off some people because they think they’ve been a thorn in their side, like my Dad. He made the water sign: “I believe water is a human right.” It makes me sad. I think about Flint. Making people drink the poison. People could die and get diseases to make some people rich. They are even trying to make it illegal to use rain water. First they privatize water, then air, and we die. We have to tell the people so they know. Without that they end up lost.  And, don’t buy Nestles!” — W. Morales, 10 years old, Highland Park
