RSVP - *Stop Formosa Plastics* Action at the Summer of Heat on Wall St.
**NOT PUBLIC - PLEASE ONLY SHARE DIRECTLY WITH TRUSTED ALLIES, AND DO NOT SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR LISTSERVS**
On Aug. 2nd, 2024, during 'Faith Week' of the Summer of Heat on Wall St., the International Monitor Formosa Plastics Alliance and allies will be holding a non-violent direct action at the U.S. headquarters of Formosa Plastics in Livingston, New Jersey. Formosa Plastics Group is a Taiwanese petrochemical giant with a track record of human rights abuse, environmental destruction, and toxic pollution all over the world (more info here at www.4imfa.org/). The corporation has refused to take accountability for their harms in Point Comfort, TX; St. James, LA; and in Central Vietnam. Join us as we escalate the fight against Formosa Plastics by taking direct action at their headquarters, followed by a public rally & press conference nearby in Newark, NJ.

Organizers are anticipating there will definitely be some risk of arrest at the demonstration, so we're planning to allow for different ways to engage based on your level of comfort with that risk. Note that those who are arrested will very possibly need to return to New Jersey to appear in court. Given that information, what amount of risk of arrest are you comfortable with at the action?

Green: I absolutely do not want to risk arrest.
Yellow: I would prefer not to get arrested but accept some amount of risk.
Orange: I'm not planning on getting arrested but am willing to accept a higher degree of risk to plug into certain support roles.
Red: I'm 100% ready and willing to risk arrest at this action.
I won't be attending the action.
We'll need several more volunteers to help us execute this action! Are there any action roles that you feel comfortable plugging into? If none, select "Just a participant."

Jail Support Information
Please answer the following questions so that our Jail Support team has all the information they need in the event that you're arrested. 'Jail support' is the team that keeps up with the folks who are arrested, takes care of any needs they have while they're in jail, and welcomes them when they get out. Even if you're not planning on risking arrest, we'd like to have this info just to be safe. We will delete this information after the action is over, and we won't use it or share it for any context besides jail support.
What's your full legal name?
*
What's your date of birth (MM-DD-YYYY)?
*
If you're arrested and held for over 12 hours, is there someone we could notify or be in contact with? How should we get in touch with them, and what exactly would you like us to tell them?

If you're arrested, are there any other needs that you would want to make sure are taken care of? (Ex. medications you need to take, flights rescheduled, etc.) (Note that you should plan to carry any medications you might need to the action in their prescription bottles).

We'll have a team waiting outside the jail for folks to be released! In the event that you're arrested, is there anything you'd like to be greeted with when you get out? (Ex. hugs, coffee, chocolate, etc.)
