| Description: |
It’s hard to imagine that nearly 25 years ago, a Union Carbide pesticide factory in Bhopal, India sent a cloud of poisonous gas over a sleeping city and killed thousands in one night. What is harder to imagine is that, after all of these years, second and third generations of Bhopali children are still being poisoned by toxins left at the factory that have been steadily seeping into their water supply.
Nearly half a million people were exposed to poisonous methyl isocyanate during a runaway chemical reaction at the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal on December 3, 1984. Since then, more than 22,000 people have died and 150,000 survivors continue to be chronically ill, as the Indian government and Dow (Union Carbide's owner) have repeatedly failed to address their liabilities for the atrocities of the world’s worst industrial disaster. We need your support. The 25th Anniversary will be an opportunity to increase the pressure on both Dow and the Indian government, and ensure justice for the people of Bhopal. Please donate to the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal, an international coalition, representing thousands of survivors and hundreds of supporters worldwide. Your money can make a huge difference in the fight for justice in Bhopal. The Pesticide Action Network North America is ICJB's fiscal sponsor. |
