Blockade Action at Dow Headquarters in Texas

The International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal (ICJB) returned contaminated drinking water from Bhopal, India, to Dow Chemical's Texas headquarters today. Greenpeace activists blocked the entrances to the Houston Dow Center after delivering 250 gallons of contaminated water taken from the wells in Bhopal, the site of the world's worst industrial disaster. Protestors from Houston, Dallas, Austin, Seattle, Winston-Salem, NC and Washington, D.C., demanded that Dow meet with Bhopal survivors to discuss their legitimate grievances and that the company drop two civil suits it has filed in India against Bhopal survivors.
