An Unreasonable Woman with Diane Wilson | A People's Climate

from The Nation Podcasts · host The Nation Magazine

In this episode of A People’s Climate, Shilpi Chhotray sits down with Diane Wilson, a fourth-generation shrimper and relentless environmental activist, to explore her decades-long fight against Formosa Plastics—a $250 billion petrochemical giant polluting the Texas Gulf Coast. From hunger strikes to scaling the White House fence, Diane’s unwavering activism has not only won a historic $50 million settlement, but transformed her community’s fisheries and galvanized citizen-led environmental justice. Her story is a masterclass in persistence, civil disobedience, and the power of ordinary people to create extraordinary change.Learn more at apeoplesclimate.org Resources:- Diane Wilson- Nurdle Patrol- CODEPINK- Texas Jail ProjectPresented by Counterstream Media and The NationPowered by Wildseeds FundAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
