You're reading an older Hightower Lowdown article. Jim's still writing — twice a week on Substack.
In our June 16 Chat n Chew, Hightower and Deanna talk with Diane Wilson, a working-class shrimper from the Texas Gulf who, in the great tradition of American citizen-rebels, challenged a giant plastics corporation over its pollution — and won. Diane’s true-life drama has more twists than a Hollywood blockbuster!
Come meet “the crazy lady,” a woman who would not back off, shut up, be intimidated, or quit. We’ll be talking direct action tactics, multi-racial coalition building, and SO much more. You can read all Diane’s story in this issue of the Lowdown.
