"Meet the Resnicks: The Koch Brothers of California Water"

Please join us for a mock reception for the 1% outside the home of Stewart & Lynda Resnick, the Koch Brothers of California Water. This rally and press conference launches the Los Angeles campaign against Proposition 1, the water bond, on the California ballot.

Proposition 1 will funnel water to the 1% and do nothing to address our dire drought.

WHAT: Rally & Press Conference “No on Prop 1” - Meet the Resnicks, the Koch Brothers of CA Water

WHEN: Thursday, October 2 from 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

WHERE: The Home of Stewart & Lynda Resnick — 9481 Sunset Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 90210. Meet on grassy median on Sunset Blvd. outside their home

Water barons Stewart & Lynda Resnick hog Californian’s water to irrigate water-intensive crops grown on toxic soil in the Central Valley-and then export the lion’s share to emerging markets like China. Now the Resnicks and corporate agribusiness want you to pay for their special projects in Prop 1.

Join us as we tell the media: Prop 1 is a blank check for the 1% and the Resnicks!

We could be investing in real solutions to our water crisis, but instead almost 40% of Prop 1 prioritizes more dams (to store water we don’t have) and water transfers for greedy corporate agribusiness. Just what we need, empty dams! We don’t have more money or water to waste subsidizing corporate interests!

Cocktail attire encouraged for this reception, but not required. This fun action includes lots of fun signage and refreshments served by Resnick impersonators who are eager to tell you how Prop 1 forces taxpayers like us to bankroll projects that make the Resnicks and their friends even richer.

We need to speak truth to power and demand a sane water future before its too late!
