DESCRIPTION:\nJoin us to tell UC Berkeley to Dump their Dow! \n \nJoin us to confront 
 Dow Chemical on Monday November 9th at UC Berkeley at 12:00pm. The Haas 
 School’s Center for Responsible Business will be hosting a talk by Carol 
 Dudley, Senior Vice President of the Dow Chemical Company called "From Suds 
 to Speedways How 'Green' Ideas can Flow from Unexpected Taps."\n \nOn 
 December 3rd, it will be twenty-five years since the night that Union 
 Carbide (now owned by Dow Chemical) unleashed a cloud of poisonous gas that 
 killed more than 20,000 people in Bhopal, India, the worst toxic disaster 
 in history. Today, contamination from pesticides and heavy metals continues 
 to damage the health of hundreds of thousands in Bhopal--and Dow Chemical 
 Company refuses to clean up the poisoned water, soil, and abandoned factory 
 site. \n\nCan we let Dow get away with greenwashing like this in our 
 backyard? UC Berkeley receives $10 million of Dow funding for sustainable 
 chemistry initiatives, and we've been telling them to dump their Dow 
 funding for years! This is an opportunity to confront Dow and UC Berkeley 
 at the same time. We will be exhibiting photos from Bhopal at the event, 
 lining the corridors to the room before the talk to display the destructive 
 human impact Dow has had on the world. We will attend the talk with photos 
 in hand and questions in mind. \n                                           
                                                                            
 \nThis is not “sustainable” chemistry or “responsible” business!\n 
 \nWe plan to meet at 11.45am at the main entrance of the Cheit building to 
 prepare the exhibit. The talk will be from 12.30pm - 2pm and takes place in 
 Cheit C125. We'll line the hallway to the event from 12-12:30 and then join 
 the event.  We need as much support as we can get to make an impact and we 
 would love to be able to document it to put pictures up on the Students for 
 Bhopal website. The more the merrier (and messier for Dow) so please come 
 along and make that difference!\n \nContact Esther at esther@panna.org or 
 Shana at shana@panna.org if you have any further questions about this 
 event. We will happily answer any queries and welcome all support in the 
 fight for justice in Bhopal!! Let us know if you can come on the 9th, so we 
 know how many people to plan for. \n \nThank you and keep up the good work. 
 We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on the afternoon of 
 Monday the 9th. Ready to make a difference?? \n\n\n
