Nov 13 environmental protest in Taipei

.....This 13 November event -- it is going to be a big one -- an environmental protection march -- primarily but not exclusively focused on petrochemical issues -- the Kuokuang Plant planned for Changhua, the FPG 6th Naptha cracker expansion in Yunlin and the 3rd cracker in Kaohsiung.

This is a permitted march so foreign persons in Taiwan who wish to join do not need to worry about deportation for being outside of your visa purposes!

It will convene in front of the SOGO on the corner of Chunghsiao and Fuxing, march to the presidential square where there will be sort of a gathering with talks and some performances. Could be wild time?

Can you all help get the word out to the foreign community in Taiwan? Also we need English or other foreign language placards, signs or whatever you can come up with.

各位同仁
我們下週六將針對"國光石化"(選後要強渡關山通過環評) 、六輕、高雄三輕五輕石化威脅
串聯了北中南團體舉行大遊行
彰化雲林鄉親將出動100台遊覽車
從忠孝東路走到總統府前凱道
有大量的志工人力需求 (分為遊行組、晚會場控組)
各團體都在陸續召募中
也希望邀請所內同仁參與
若有意當工作人員(糾察、秩序、場地佈置、服務志工...)請回信給我

當然更歡迎大家一起上街!!

11/13石化政策要轉彎 環保救國大遊行

台灣無法承受之「輕」！

這是你我和孩子們轉彎的最後機會！

詩人以詩當武器，學者以專業和良知挑戰！
你呢？該如何捍衛母親台灣　為下一代守住山水淨土？

三輕五輕毒氣汙水危害罄竹難書，
六輕王國禍害農漁工安無人可管！

八輕再建國人壽命平均再減23天，
正負２度Ｃ旱澇農糧誰管？
圖財團之利卻要全民買單？

我們的島已經在向下沉淪，
在政府只見短期經濟成長，繼續擴張高汙染高耗能產業，
以你我納國庫之稅收登廣告發文宣「輔導」特定財團，
再以誇大就業、災難GDP為國光石化、六輕五期背書，
甚至有意撕毀鄉民吞忍25年換來的五輕遷廠承諾…

面對這一個重工輕農、視國土保安和全民生計於不顧、
不見真正永續發展政策、只會打口號「環保救國」恣意妄為
的政府，是時候人民應該要走上街頭，齊心吶喊政策轉彎！


行動就是力量！

(台北SOGO百貨忠孝館台北市忠孝東路四段45號)
3:00 pm 出發
