Science Museum: stop mass eviction. Drop Adani!

London Science Museum is sponsored by Adani Green Energy, part of the Adani Group - a huge corporate empire based in India owned by one of the richest men in the world, Gautam Adani.

Adani is currently steamrolling ahead with plans to redevelop Dharavi, a huge community of up to 1 million people in Mumbai.

But Adani’s plan for Dharavi isn’t about uplift - it’s about profit - and will see the destruction of a vibrant, resilient community to clear it for luxury towers and shopping centres.

Residents are facing:

Mass eviction, being forced to relocate to an area of dangerous landfill
No consultation, with their worries ignored by developers
No ‘right to return,’ no safeguarding of jobs, and most will receive no compensation

Meanwhile, $billions in foreign money continues to pour into Adani, which has been accused of fraud, bribery, environmental destruction and green washing around the world.

Adani continues to legitimise itself through partnerships such as with London Science Museum.

That’s why community union ACORN is taking part in this international day of action alongside our affiliates all over the world, in solidarity with our members living in Dharavi.

Tell London Science Museum to Stop legitimising adani’s destructive policies and to use their platform to push for a right to return and no forced relocation for Dharavi residents.

Dharavi is not a slum to clear - it’s a community to respect

To whom it may concern,

As you will be aware, the Science Museum is sponsored by Adani Green Energy, with a gallery at the museum including the name of the company.

Adani Green Energy is part of the Adani Group - a huge conglomerate based in India owned by one of the richest men in the world, Gautam Adani. The Adani group has been accused of fraud, bribery, environmentally destructive policies and ‘green washing’ around the world.

The Adani group is also leading the controversial redevelopment of Dharavi, a huge community of up to 1 million people in Mumbai, India.

But Adani’s plan for Dharavi isn’t about uplift - it’s about profit - and will see the destruction of a vibrant, resilient community to clear it for luxury towers and shopping centres.

Residents are facing:
- mass eviction, being forced to relocate to an area of dangerous landfill
- no consultation, with their worries ignored by developers
- no ‘right to return’ and no safeguarding of jobs that will be destroyed or disrupted by the plans
- a loophole requiring 10 years of identity documents and proof of residency, that many Dharavi residents do not have, will mean most of them will receive no compensation

Adani continues to legitimise itself and present a cover for destructive policies through partnerships and sponsorship such as this with the Science Museum.

Residents of Dharavi have called for global action to make sure their voices are heard.

Therefore, I implore the Science Museum to cut ties with Adani to stop legitimising their destructive policies, and to use the Museum’s public platform to push for a right to return and no forced relocation for Dharavi residents.
