Top Docs tell McDonald's: Stop marketing junk food to kids!
Last month, support from members like you helped create a media blitz. An open letter from more than 550 health professionals and institutions was published in newspapers across the country calling on McDonald’s CEO to stop marketing junk food to kids. The Wall Street Journal, NBC Nightly News, and hundreds of other media outlets took notice. Now, more than 1500 health professionals have signed the letter. Click here to add your name to the letter, urge your doctor to take part, and/or help run the ad in still more papers nationwide.

Nestlé bottling plans run aground in Wacissa, Fla. 
Over the last several months, Corporate Accountability International has worked with community members living along the Wacissa River in north Florida to prevent Nestlé from pumping out spring water and threatening the river basin residents love. After calling critical media attention to Nestlé's plans, the County passed a resolution to keep Nestlé out. This important victory is no guarantee Nestlé won't make another push to pump the river. Join the people of Wacissa and tell Nestlé – not in my backyard, or anyone’s.
Corporate CEOs run for U.N. cover
Corporate Accountability International is saying not so fast to the world's largest water corporations, including Coca-Cola and Veolia. These water profiteers are using the United Nations to deflect responsibility for their role in the global water crisis. With your help, the organization has exposed their influence at the U.N. and organized more than 100 allies in 24 countries to call for an end to it.
