June 6 massive anti-air pollution demonstration news series

Citizen journalists from Tainan, Chiayi and Yunlin recently participated in the June 6 national anti-air pollution demonstrations, providing first-hand coverage of the day. Countless citizens in support of Tainan’s anti-air pollution movement walked together in a show of strength, determined to voice their demands that Tainan Mayor William Lai (賴清德) should live up to his “Seeing the Future” promise by providing concrete government policies and a roadmap for meeting his objectives, restoring Tainan’s pristine appearance.

A further demonstration took place in Yunlin County's Mailiao Township outside Formosa Plastics’ Sixth Naphtha Cracker (六輕) administrative office in the Yunlin Offshore Industrial Park (雲林離島工業區). The demo was mainly attended by farmers and fishermen living in the Yunlin-Miaoli coastal region who have suffered from the effects of living in the shadow of the industrial park. In addition, countless civic organizations gathered outside Chiayi City Hall, where they participated in the “Expel Air Pollution, Bring Back Health – Return the Sky of Tan Ting-pho (陳澄波) ” demo, supporting the national anti-air pollution movement.
