VIETNAM AGENT ORANGE RELIEF & RESPONSIBILITY CAMPAIGN TOUR TO RALEIGH NC
Come participate in this important discussion about the struggle to gain reparations from the US government for the massive poisoning of Vietnam during the US invasion and occupation there. We also want to make clear the connections between Agent Orange in Vietnam, Depleted Uranium in Iraq and Afghanistan, the the release of methyl isocyanate in Bhopal, India that killed 8,000 people at once in 1984 (the worst industrial accident in history) and is still killing today, and environmental racism in the United States – like the PCB dumping in majority-Black Warren County in 1982. Reparations have never been paid for any of these events.
