Join the Global Week of Action for the Human Right to Water and Sanitation
The moment for having states recognize the human right to water and sanitation is right now. This is a critical step to seeing action to address the needless loss of dignity, misery and death that comes with not having clean water and sanitation.
An historic UN General Assembly resolution titled, "The Human Right to Water and Sanitation" has been officially tabled by at least 23 co-sponsoring member states and the government of Bolivia. The date set for UN member states to consider this resolution is Wednesday, July 28, 2010. 
We need this resolution to pass with a strong majority so we need to act quickly and collectively!
Starting today, we hope that you will join in a Global Week of Action for the Human Right to Water.
Please go to www.blueplanetproject.net/RightToWater/ for various things you can do on the site to apply pressure to your government, both in your country and at the United Nations. 
We need you to send the sign-on to elected representatives in your country and ask them to circulate it widely in their networks.

We will present the list of signatories at a press conference in the UN on Tuesday, the day before the vote.
Please take action today!
