DESCRIPTION:December will mark 25 years since the Bhopal pesticide plant explosion 
 killed at least 20,000 people to date in one of the worst industrial 
 accidents in history. Bhopal survivors are touring to tell their 
 story.\n\nYou are invited to hear the Bhopal survivors' story and panel at 
 two historic Bay Area events:\n\n    * Tuesday, May 26, in Berkeley, 6:30 
 pm, at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Hall, 1924 Cedar Street; and\n 
    * Wednesday, May 27, in Palo Alto, 6:30 pm in Room 105, Building 320 
 (Geology Corner), Stanford University. \n\nTwo second-generation Bhopal 
 survivors, Sarita Malviya and Safreen Khan, and campaigners Rachna Dhingra 
 and Sathyu Sarangi, are touring the U.S. and Canada this April and May to 
 mark the 25 year anniversary by raising awareness about the dangers of 
 pesticide manufacturing and the ongoing tragedy in Bhopal. The Bay Area 
 events are hosted by the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal 
 (ICJB), Pesticide Action Network and more than 20 Bay Area 
 organizations.\n\nThe survivors have talked with members of Congress in 
 Washington and residents of Institute, West Virginia, where Bhopal's 
 "sister plant," operated by Bayer CropScience, exploded once again last 
 year, narrowly avoiding a tragedy that could have eclipsed the 1984 
 disaster in Bhopal. The tour is also raising funds for the advocacy work 
 needed to bring justice to the people of Bhopal and for a toxic free future 
 for us all.\n\nRSVP: I'll be at the Berkley event\n\nRSVP: I'll be at the 
 Palo Alto event\n\nFor more information contact shana@panna.org or visit
