Why
Join us on August 30 as we Strike for West Papua!
Initiated by School Strike 4 Climate (SS4C) Queensland, this action has united a collective youth movement across the globe to amplify the voices of West Papua and its diaspora. For so long, West Papua’s people and land have faced extreme violence under a militarised system of extraction, exploitation and dispossession to serve the interests of corporations and the Indonesian Government.
In the early stages of organising and announcing the strike for West Papua action, SS4C Queensland faced serious censorship, with Meta removing their Instagram account within minutes of posting the action’s artwork. This censorship is nothing new.
The SS4C spokespersons recognise school-aged students like them are striking because they will not stand by the funding and arming of the Indonesian Government’s genocide of West Papuans.
In the shadows of tyranny, we rise, united with the courageous hearts of West Papuan people, driven by the fire of the youth, as we strive together for a Free West Papua! Their fight for freedom is intertwined with our own; when they soar, we soar! Papua Merdeka! (Free West Papua!).
