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\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 Palo Alto event\n\nFor more information contact shana@panna.org or
