Jamilla El-Shafei is an artist and longtime social justice and environmental activist and organizer. In June 2008, she founded Save Our Water to mobilize citizen opposition to the Nestle Corporation's proposed expropriation of the Kennebunkport, Maine's Wells Water District groundwater.

She mounted a successful campaign to table Nestle's proposal indefinitely, and recently the town of Shapleigh passed a Rights-Based Ordinance stripping corporations of their personhood and restoring local power to the community.

These issues will be discussed on the program.
