All around the world, so many people are Taking Action to help spread the message and raise support for the people of West Papua. We want to make West Papua a household name and get as many people as possible involved in this Campaign for Freedom.
Suffering genocide and the illegal occupation of their country, the people of West Papua desperately need your help and there is so much that everyone can do.
Help to make history and be part of a worldwide movement, Take Action for a Free West Papua!
In the boxes below are a number of actions you can take to help the people of West Papua.
You can help a lot by donating and supporting the Free West Papua Campaign's efforts. We operate with limited resources and face big challenges when it comes to fundraising. Most charitable funds will not support political campaigns and international awareness of the situation in West Papua is very limited as all NGOs and foreign journalists are banned from the country. So, despite the severity of this brutal occupation, we are forced to operate on a shoe-string.
We need our global voices to come together again, in song, in acts of global demonstration, in silent protest, to show our support to West Papua’s full membership to the MSG. Let’s join our voices and spirits and come together in solidarity and love for the United Liberation Movement for West Papua’s application to the MSG.
To help West Papua gain essential support from parliaments and governments all around the world, please do send one of these ready made Template Letters to your local representative (such as an MP/Councillor etc) asking them to support the people of West Papua and their struggle for self-determination).
Ask your political representative to join the International Parliamentarians for West Papua (IPWP) and call for the UN to recognise West Papua's right to independence.
