Get DOW into the Dirty Dozen!

Leave a comment

AdBusters is running a campaign to expose the Dirty Dozen – a list of the 12 worst corporations. We’ve managed to get Dow on the list, but we need your help to keep them there, and move them up the chart. We need just one minute of your time to make sure the Dow Chemical Company makes it on that list!

In addition to the Bhopal gas disaster, Dow is responsible for chemical weapons, such as Agent Orange and Napalm, and a number of GMOs and pesticides, including 2,4-D.

Instructions

  • Visit Adbusters’ voting website
  • At the very bottom of the ballot, there is an option that says “Killacorp”. Here, enter “Dow Chemical”
  • Click on the circle next to your entry and press vote!
  • You can vote once every day, so please keep voting!

Let’s make sure that we let Dow know that we won’t stand for their toxins!

Help Improve Bhopal.net

Leave a comment

6 sites into 1 site

We are calling on you for your support during one of the most critical points in the campaign, the 30th anniversary. Bhopal.net is a critical resource for the global solidarity movement for justice in Bhopal, and it NEEDS to be updated.

We need your help.  We have until July 11 to raise $5,000 in order to merge all of our sites.

We currently have six websites and subsites with 2,500+ posts that need to be organized and combined so Bhopal.net can effectively tell the story of the gas disaster, the history of resistance and demands for accountability, and status of the current campaign.

This December marks the 30th anniversary of the disaster. We need one website, to tell many stories of the horrors that happened that night, so we can ensure that we live in a toxic free future.

Some people believe that after the 30th anniversary, movements start to die and people stop forgetting. One thing is for sure – we will not stop fighting until there is justice in Bhopal.
