published on YouTube.<br>Embedded in full above.<br><br>Chennai rap musician Sofia Ashraf&#8217;s Nicki Minaj-sampling protest song &#8216;Kodakainal Won&#8217;t&#8217; goes viral on YouTube in 2015, drawing attention to a Unilever factory in India dumping mercury into the environment. A year later, she releases this video to draw attention to the most notorious industrial disaster in Indian history: an explosion at the Union Carbide pesticide factory in Bhopal in 1984 which released poisonous gas that killed more than 15,000 people and sickened over half a million more. A campaign has been running ever since for the victims to be compensated and the toxic legacy of the explosion to be cleaned up, even after Union Carbide was bought by Dow Chemical. Ashraf revived a rap written and performed in 2008 to support an NGO petition to the US Government&#8217;s Department of Justice to hold Dow Chemical to account. If the petition reaches 125,000 signatures, the DoJ is obliged to respond. In the video, Ashraf performs both sides of the argument as she sees it: the Indian activist side calling Dow Chemical to account, and the US government&#8217;s disdainful approach to those demanding compensation. The video encourages people to sign the petition. The 125,000 goal is reached. But what does this unlock? What can protest music do for trade justice activism?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Page reference: Nicole Sparks, Ginny Childs, Allie Short, Kat Cook, Lauren Warner &amp; Sophie Wolf (2016) <em>Dow Vs Bhopal: A
