[Mitai-announce] ll TONIGHT AT COPLEY ll Greening the Economy 25 Years After Bhopal

[Jasmine Park]

Dear Activists,

Check out this event at Copley Square today! Many of you are probably
familiar with our campaigns for Justice in Bhopal. The chemical survivors
have come to Boston all the way from Bhopal, India this month to raise
awareness and promote congressional legislation in the United States. This
is their last event here in Boston. Tomorrow, they will be off to Detroit.
You really don't want to miss this out. Personally, I am just so amazed and
inspired by the survivors' activism and spirit. Come join this amazing
movement tonight!

Please feel free to send me an email if you have any questions. Hope to see
you there!

their experiences in Bhopal where more than 23,000 people have died due to
