Bhopal gas disaster survivor Aziza Sultan's story is heartbreaking. But we can help ease her pain by supporting the struggle of Bhopalis like her.   The Bhopal campaign was one of the many struggles that Association For India's Development (AID) has supported. Up to now, survivors had been demanding that the US Corporations responsible (i.e. Union Carbide Corp. and its current owner Dow Chemical Co.) along with the Indian Government, redress the issue by compensating the affected, cleaning up the premises, and providing for survivors' medical care. However, it has become clear that the US government too has played a role in hindering justice for the Bhopalis. The US Department of Justice has been silently shielding the corporations responsible by blocking the court notices to Dow Chemical in relation to the pending criminal case against it. The next hearing for this case is on July 13th, 2016.   AID is proud to stand with the Bhopalis in this historic effort to petition the White House to stop shielding Dow Chemical. When they reach the magic number of 100,000 signatures, the White House will respond to the petition.   Please join us in this effort to get justice. Please sign the petition, forward this email to your friends and family, and post about it on your social media accounts.   NOTE: After you sign the petition, you will immediately receive an email from the White House asking you to verify your signature. Your signature will only be counted after you verify. If you don't receive a confirmation email, please make sure to check your spam folder.   Sign Petition Now Thank you, AID Volunteers
