The Ontario election is fast approaching -- giving us a critical opportunity to finally kick Nestlé out of Ontario for good.
We’ve retained a polling firm to commission a critical poll of Ontario voters that leaders won’t be able to ignore -- but we need to raise $5,000 to reach even more voters. Will you chip in to make it happen?

We have a rare opportunity to stop Nestlé in Ontario, but we need your help to pull it off.
With Ontario's election right around the corner, politicians are hyper-focused on constituents and votes, giving us the chance to force them to take action and stop Nestlé sucking 4.7 million litres of Ontario’s groundwater each day on expired permits.
A poll conducted last year found that 65% of Ontarians want the industry phased out in the next 10 years.
But heading into an election, leaders will be more likely to pay attention to a brand new poll with results that poll voters specifically.
We've retained a top polling firm -- but we need to secure $5,000 to reach even more voters before the poll is released on Thursday, right before the budget is released.

Unless we push this to the forefront now, Ontario’s political leaders will happily ignore Nestlé’s shameless water grab. We can’t let the importance of protecting our groundwater be overlooked in this election.
Hard-hitting polls influence politicians. Our community-funded European poll on glyphosate found the vast majority of French and Italian citizens were in favour of an immediate ban on glyphosate and both France and Italy implemented a full ban within three years.
The poll allowed decision-makers to hear from voters and citizens over the deep pockets of industry lobbyists.
But polls cost money. We need to raise $5,000 to get the ball rolling and ensure this critical information gets out before the election, while most political parties are still creating their elections platforms. And there's no more critical time than in the days before the budget is released.
With your help, we’ll make sure a copy of the results get in the hands of every politician in every party running.
