"Globalization & Justice: Learning from Bhopal" On April 26, 2005, the Agnes Scott College Ethics Program sponsored "Globalization & Justice: Learning from Bhopal" as a part of its Environmental Justice series. "Globalization brings with it a myriad of challenges, not the least of which is accountability. How do we hold powerful and rich multinationals responsible and accountable when the countries they do business in may have large economic and power gaps? What does justice mean when the rules are made in an unequal power structure? How are local workers and communities tackling and facing these challenges? Why are the residents affected by Bhopal still in danger, 20 years later? What are the environmental implications? These questions and more will be explored and discussed using the disaster and mobilization of survivors in Bhopal." The event featured a screening of the new BBC documentary One Night in Bhopal and two speakers: Alka Roy Taka Ono More than 80 people attended the discussion!

"The year 2003 was a special year in the history of the campaign for justice in Bhopal. It was the year when student and youth supporters from at least 30 campuses in the US and India took action against Dow Chemical or in support of the demands of the Bhopal survivors. As we enter the 20th year of the unfolding Bhopal disaster, we can, with your support, convey to Dow Chemical that the fight for justice in Bhopal is getting stronger and will continue till justice is done. We look forward to your continued support and good wishes, and hope that our joint struggle will pave the way for a just world free of the abuse of corporate power."
