Mercy Water Justice Coalition forms Executive Team

Mercy Global Action is pleased to announce Kate Anderson, Alexis Stephens and Angela Reed as the Inaugural Executive Team for the Mercy Water Justice Coalition.

This Coalition represents Mercy Global Action's commitment to the United Nations Water Action Agenda and our response to the growing commodification, degradation, and depletion of Earth’s precious water sources.

The aim of this Coalition is to identify ‘Mercy Water Leaders’ in all regions of the Mercy World. Mercy Water Leaders will be individuals (over the age of 18, or represented by someone over 18) who have an identified interest in water issues and willing to create and implement a ‘Water Action Agenda’ within their Mercy community – whether it be a school, university, congregation, ministry, or other organisation.

Through their Water Action Agenda, they will commit to several actions which seek to raise awareness of the multiple values of water and advocate for a rights-based approach to the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal #6: 'Clean Water & Sanitation'.
