LOVELL — The Hobbs Library Speaker Series and the Greater Lovell Land Trust plan to host Nickie Sekera, the co-founder of Community Water Justice, to discuss “Maine’s Water Sovereignty in a Global Water Crisis” from 7 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 18, on Zoom.

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) Mainers can learn what this means for the future of water security in Maine and how this affects people locally.

Besides being a water rights advocate from Fryeburg, Sekera is 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 contribution from Norway Savings Bank.
