DESCRIPTION:The progressive South Indian community and their many supporters in the 
 BHOPAL CAMPAIGN are going to meet at the Lake Merritt BART Station at 
 9:30/45 am on Sunday and walk to the Lake to hold their banners/signs.  If 
 you go to their site www.bhopal.net & click on images, you'll see how well 
 they cover Viet Nam - AO and Napalm.\n\n\nDow LIVEs\nEARTH dies. \n\nThis 
 April 18, Live Earth, a series of events “to help solve the water 
 crisis,” will be held in locations all over the world. It is the ultimate 
 irony that these events’ main sponsor is Dow Chemical, a corporate 
 criminal responsible for the continued contamination of drinking water for 
 30,000 people in Bhopal, India and for causing severe water crises by 
 poisoning the sources of water for people all over the world…\n\n•In 
 Bhopal, India roughly 30,000 people are still drinking water contaminated 
 with heavy metals and organochlorines, resulting in an epidemic of health 
 problems and birth defects while Dow refuses to take responsibility.\n•In 
 the North America, Dow is responsible for dangerous dioxin contamination 
 around its global headquarters in Midland, Michigan, vinyl chloride 
 contamination in Louisiana, dioxin & furan contamination in Western 
 Canada.\n•Dow toxins are poisoning people and ecosystems in Vietnam, 
 South Africa, New Zealand, Brazil, and Central America.\nGo to 
 http://www.bhopal.net/liveearth\n\nJoin us to expose Live Earth as Dow’s 
 greenwashing front! Stand in solidarity with the people of Bhopal against 
 this corporate propaganda! Here’s how you can get involved…\n\nLive 
 Earth will consist of 6 km runs/walks (the average distance many women and 
 children walk every day to secure water), concerts, and water education 
 activities around the world. We want to expose Dow’s lies by spreading 
 the word about Dow’s crimes in Bhopal and beyond to those participating 
 in Live Earth events, and we need your help!\n\nFind a Live Earth event 
 near you at www.liveearth.org.\n\n1) Sign the International Campaign for 
 Justice in Bhopal’s (ICJB) petitionagainst Dow’s sponsorship of Live 
 Earth. www.bhopal.net/petition\n\n2) Use our stencils to make t-shirts, 
 signs, banners, tags, headbands, Bhopal pamphlets, etc. Attend a Live Earth 
 event near you wearing a Bhopal t-shirt an anti-Dow t-shirt under another 
 t-shirt. When the run starts, take off your first layer and make your 
 statement. http://bhopal.net/petition/application/views/toolkit.html\n\n3) 
 Go on to live earth website and register your comments on their blog and 
 website\n\n4) Document your actions! Send your pictures and videos to ICJB 
 at justiceinbhopal@gmail.com to share with the international community of 
 Bhopal supporters.\n\n5) Where else has Dow poisoned with its toxic waste?

 exhibition & spread the word on Dow’s legacy of pain & poison 
 http://bhopal.net/exhibition/\n\n7) Log on to friends of live earth website

 discussion forms and expose Dow Chemical’s green wash to rest of their 
 members.\n\n6) Truly help solve the water crisis by donating to ICJB, a 
 grassroots organization composed of survivors of the Bhopal gas disaster 
 and environmentalists worldwide working to ameliorate the crisis in Bhopal 
 and prevent future industrial 
 contamination.http://www.studentsforbhopal.org/?q=node/50\n\n6) Act on your
