Rashida Tlaib Instagram – In India in 1984, a company driven by corporate greed that couldn’t care less about the health of the local communities – Union Carbide – was so negligent that it caused one of the worst chemical disasters in history.
Around 20,000 people were killed when poison gas was released into the air. Nearly half a million people have suffered illness and premature death after the initial incident.
And of course, the U.S. refused to extradite the CEO of Union Carbide to face criminal charges.
Dow Chemical, based in Michigan, bought Union Carbide after the company brought death to Bhopal. Dow made money from buying that company, so they now also own the tragedy of Bhopal.
I’m proud to lend my voice to the Bhopal Survivors here today to demand that they receive the just compensation from the Dow Chemical Corporation they are owed. From Detroit to Bhopal, we deserve clean air, clean water, and justice. | Posted on 08/Sep/2024 08:56:31
