Bati Bai Rajak, Farhat Jahan, and Jiya S. Pandya speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. It will be forty years since the night when a Union Carbide (now Dow Chemicals) factory leaked 27 tons of toxic methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas into the lungs, soil, and water of Bhopal, India, killing 22,000 people and leaving 500,000 still facing the environmental, health, and economic devastation from this disaster. This panel spotlights these survivors' efforts to build and maintain community resilience for the past four decades, as state and corporate actors abdicated all responsibility, as well as the ongoing struggle to hold Dow Chemicals responsible for the clean up of Bhopal.

Join us to discuss pathways, historical examples, and ongoing organizing for a just transition for the military industrial complex and communities harmed by US imperialism, from Palestine to Cop City.

Grief is everywhere these days, and yet speaking about it is often foreclosed even in our movement spaces.
