Listed here are a number of organisations active on West Papua Issues, as well as ideas for how to become involved.
- Write to your local politician to demand that government aid to Indonesia does not go towards helping to fund the destruction of rainforest in West Papua, or towards supporting human rights abuses by the Indonesian military.
- Filep Karma is a Papuan political prisoner in need of immediate medical attention. Learn more and join the Amnesty International campaign.
- Start your own West Papua support group to show films (start with Papuan Voices), raise funds for the Filip Karma campaign, or raise awareness of the issue amongst your community. Download our screening guide.
- Download the ‘Free West Papua Activist kit’. These resources have been designed by the UK Free West Papua Campaign to spread awareness about the ongoing human rights abuses being committed in West Papua. The kit includes print ready posters and flyers and can be downloaded here.
