Together we will demand that Formosa Plastics take action on the following:

• Cancel the proposed expansion in Point Comfort, Texas, the new plant in Saint James Parish, Louisiana, and the Baton Rouge, Louisiana expansion, considering the will of the local communities living in the Gulf Coast , who cannot tolerate any additional pollution.

• Agree to an independent study to ensure no residual pollution remains in the affected areas in Vietnam, and a program to prevent future incidents.

• Collaborate with the Vietnamese government for the release of all prisoners who were victims of or advocates opposing Formosa’s devastation of their communities.

• Provide adequate compensation for the victims of the 2016 disaster in Vietnam and complete environmental restoration of the affected areas.

We will demand that the Bank of America, Chase, and JP Morgan banks stop investing in Formosa Plastics and the rest of the fossil fuel industry.
