Are you happy with the job our elected officials are doing?

We try to elect lawmakers who will represent our interests, but we all know that many of them are in the pockets of companies like Monsanto and Halliburton. We need to make democracy work for people, not corporations, in order to assure that everyone has access to safe food and clean water.

Food & Water Watch combines research, advocacy and education to mobilize the public and call for solutions to protect everyone's right to safe food and clean water— but the other crucial half of the equation is holding our elected officials accountable. Check us out at www.foodandwaterwatch.org.
