Matt Smith is the lead organizer of Food & Water Watch New Jersey. Smith discusses how community members in Edison just voted against a plan to privatize the town’s water and sewage system, becoming one of the first municipalities in the entire country to permanently ban water privatization. Smith also highlights how Piscataway will be voting on a citizens ordinance to get the town off of fossil fuels and onto 100 percent renewable energy. In addition to these campaigns, Smith also discusses the current statewide fights against new fossil fuel infrastructure projects, the importance of movement building, and getting more involved in organizations like Food & Water Watch and the Central Jersey Climate Coalition.
