campaign coverA diverse group of changemakers, knowledge-holders, and innovators, hosted by the Alliance of South Asians Taking Action, will explore how we can “disrupt the corporation-enriching global extractive system that results in widespread injustice, poverty, hunger, climate change, and irreversible environmental destruction.”

Forty years ago, Bhopal, India, experienced the world’s worst-ever corporation-caused disaster, resulting in the deaths and disabling of hundreds of thousands of marginalized people over multiple generations. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, corporations have been exploiting, polluting, and appropriating land and people for over a century.

In this event, survivor-activists of the 1984 chemical disaster will join in solidarity and conversation with Bay Area environmental justice activists. Participants—including environmentalists, labor organizers, community/indigenous leaders, housing experts, artists, lawyers, activists, agroecologists, scientists, and other knowledge-holders from a diverse range of ethnicities and perspectives—will discuss how frontline/indigenous communities and activists are taking on what continues to be the greatest challenge of our time.
