A financial appeal to help justice defeat Nestlés bullying of a small community

I receive funding appeals that I cannot afford to dip into as someone whose income is limited to very basic UK State Pension; but with this blog, I can help spread the word about what nastiness a 'corporate giant' such as Nestlé is getting up to.

The below is from Angus Wong of petition and legal challenge fundraising website Sum Of Us:

Alan,
In just a few short weeks, a court will decide if Nestlé can keep sucking the tiny town of Osceola dry.
Local residents have been tirelessly fighting to defend their water, but Nestlé’s legal bullying has pushed this group of volunteers to the edge of bankruptcy. They could lose everything.
Can you chip in to get them to the finish line?
Donating just takes a moment – use Paypal or your card.
Yes, I'll chip in £1 to stop Nestlé's water grab.
Thanks for all that you do,
Angus and the team at SumOfUs

 Even if you can't contribute to this appeal financially, you can, like me, on principle, at least consider avoiding the buying of Nestlé products.
