23 years ago, I heard a huge explosion outside my window in Seadrift, Texas. It was the Union Carbide factory. The explosion rattled windows twenty miles away and threw shrapnel the size of a car into the fields. It shook my house. One person was killed and 30 were injured–it could have been much worse.
A few weeks later I was on a plane to Bhopal, India, to meet the survivors of the Union Carbide gas disaster, whose lives were torn apart the night of December 3rd, 1984. They wanted to meet other activists campaigning around Union Carbide.
Thank you to the 70 people who donated to the Indiegogo campaign to raise money to finish upgrading Bhopal.net!
Your support has ensured that Bhopal.net will be ready for the 30th anniversary in December as well as continue to be the go-to site for information on the disaster and our relentless campaign for justice.
