20th Anniversary Outreach, Film Screening On December 3rd, 2004, the UC Davis Student Government, the Environmental Policy & Planning Commission and the Ethnic & Cultural Affairs Commission sponsored a series of events at UC-Davis to mark the 20th anniversary of the Bhopal disaster. An information table was set up on campus early in the day when most people are around, and information about Bhopal, the concept of environmental racism and the principles of environmental justice was made available, as well as a sign-up sheet so that people could get further involved. We had a small area of campus surrounded by a ridiculous amount of caution tape, making a great eye catching visual! Later in the day a screening of Bhopal: The Search for Justice was held, and followed up with a discussion on the events that took place and strategies for remediating the situation. The film screening did not draw a large audience, as it was on a Friday afternoon, but I believe everyone that was in attendance was greatly moved and disturbed by the film. A copy of the book Trespass Against Us and the documentary Twenty Years Without Justice was also donated to the University of California-Davis library. Finally, the December issue of AWAAZ Magazine (a progressive South Asian American magazine) included a large section on the issues surrounding the justice in Bhopal campaign.

"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."
