On the 20 year anniversary, the events of December 2-3, 1984 remind me of my personal commitment to making the world a better, safer, world for all people. I believe that my privilege of education, resources, and connections means that I have the duty to speak out against the wrongs of the world. This tragedy, and the tragedy that continues, is one of them.
A wonderful site to learn about the disaster and on-going ramifications:

To quote the bumper sticker: “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.”
