2023 Goldman Prize Winner Diane Wilson has been conducting a hunger strike outside Formosa Plastics Group in Point Comfort, Texas, U.S. for the past 30 days.
Yesterday, following the strong guidance of medical professionals in response to Diane’s rapidly deteriorating health, and keeping in mind that she is 75 years old, the decision was made to end the hunger strike and transition to a 24/7 encampment in the same spot outside the Formosa Plastics facility.
To mark the transition to a 24/7 encampment, Daine and fellow International Monitor Formosa Alliance (IMFA) activists hand-delivered an organizational sign-on letter representing more than 7.5 million people to Formosa Plastics.
As the campaign continues, the IMFA activists will continue hand-delivering this letter to Formosa Plastics on a daily basis until they deliver a satisfactory response. |
