Join Us to Demand Justice in Bhopal

Greed, carelessness, and a callous disregard for human life – these words sum up the causes of the 1984 Bhopal gas disaster.

This week Clean Air joined the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal with hundreds of other environmental justice organizations, labor unions and student groups to petition the Department of Justice to follow international law and serve Dow Chemical for criminal charges that have been pending in India for over 25 years.

In 1984, over 8,000 residents of Bhopal, India died within hours of being exposed to a toxic gas that escaped from a nearly, poorly maintain chemical factory. Dow Chemical, and its subsidiary – Union Carbide Corporation are legally responsible for this disaster. Dow – Carbide has refused to show up to court and face these charges.

If we reach 100,000 signatures by June 14th the US Department of Justice is required to respond to the petition. Help get there.

Sign the petition, forward this email to your friends and family, and post it to social media.  (After you sign the petition – you will quickly receive an email from the White House asking you to confirm your signature. Your signature will only be counted after you confirm.)
