Vigil & Demonstration On December 3rd, 2004, high schoolers from Charlotte Latin School and Myers Park High School in Charlotte, NC gathered at a local park to hold a candlelit vigil for the victims of Bhopal. The park was in a highly public place where there was a lot of rush hour traffic. "Our vigil went pretty well. There was some trouble everyone finding the right place in the park and the numbers were lower than expected. We only had 9 students so I was a little disappointed. But we were out there for about 45 minutes in rush hour holding our signs and candles. We talked to a couple people who walked by. Hopefully, it made a difference!"

BHOPAL
"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."
