Thomas Linzey on Global Mosaic TV Series
Link TV recently announced the premiere of GLOBAL MOSAIC, a new edition of the Peabody Award® -winning original series MOSAIC. A team of independent filmmakers explore global challenges and solutions to gender equality, water safety, and migration.
Thomas Linzey, CDER Senior Legal Counsel, is featured in the upcoming episode, “The Right to Safe Water.”
The Right to Safe Water
In many places around the world, affordable clean water is not available for drinking and everyday tasks, making safe sanitation during the pandemic impossible. In the crowded, economically unstable neighborhoods of Mumbai, India, a right-to-water campaign is having success in getting thousands of tap water connections into informal dwellings.
Cities in Europe are buying back their privatized water systems from the handful of global corporations that own thousands of municipal water companies. Meanwhile, in the U.S., West Virginia coal and fracking industries’ political stranglehold has mobilized neighborhood groups to fight back, protecting their streams and groundwater from toxic waste.
The episode features Mumbai reporter Zulekha Sayyed, West Virginia photojournalist Paul Corbit Brown, Canadian co-founder of the Blue Planet Project Maude Barlow, the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights’ Thomas Linzey, and former West Virginia state senator Charlotte Pritt.
