Nickie Sekera: Maine’s Water Sovereignty in a Global Water Crisis

Thursday, November 18, 2021 at 7:00 PM

Hobbs Library Speaker Series and GLLT welcomes the co-founder of Community Water Justice, Nickie Sekera, who will speak about Maine’s Water Sovereignty in a Global Water Crisis.

With the recent acquisition of Nestlé Waters North America/Poland Spring brand by One Rock Capital Partners and Metropoulos & Co (now doing business as BlueTriton Brands) we need to know what this means for the future of water security in Maine and how this affects us locally here in the Lovell/Fryeburg area.  

Besides being a water rights advocate from Fryeburg, ME and a co-founder of Community Water Justice, Nickie is also a founding board member of the Saco Headwaters Alliance, a journalist with the Sunlight Media Collective, a mentor and adviser to several youth-led and grassroots leadership projects, and has served as a Trustee of the Fryeburg Water District. 

This event and the entire Hobbs Library Speaker Series is sponsored in part by a generous contribution from Norway Savings Bank.
