West Papua Independence Day

December 1 marks the 45th anniversary of the date on which the newly formed West 
New Guinea Council voted to rename their territory West Papua and affirmed their 
own flag and national anthem. At that time the Dutch colonial power was 
preparing the territory for independence.

Tragically, the people of West Papua were then denied their promised right to 
self-determination . They have now endured repressive Indonesian military 
control for more than 4 decades. More than 100,000 people have died in the 
course of a conflict which has seen West Papua become a closed-off, 
poverty-stricken and fearful place.
In West Papua it is illegal to raise the Morning Star flag, and those who do so 
risk lengthy prison terms.

Join us to raise the flag in Queen Elizabeth Square on Friday December 1 at 12 
noon in Downtown Square, Cnr Customs and Queen St, Auckland City. The 
demonstration will conclude with a march to the offices of the NZ Super Fund 
which invests in the Freeport McMoran Mine - heedless of its that company's 
devastating environmental and human rights record.

Our points of unity are:

1. To provide an environment where youth are able to learn from one another, 
assist and support each other and resist capitalism, injustice and oppression 
together.

2. Strive to create and live alternatives to capitalism in our everyday lives.

3. To educate and be educated by youth about capitalism/oppression of people, 
animals and the environment and the alternatives to them.

4. To create, assist and inspire groups struggling against oppression/exploitation.

5. Act according to the principles of liberty, equality, solidarity.

Radical Youth originally began with a few people who had a feeling that youth 
needed to be more active in their communities to work for social justice. We 
also thought that youth should organise independently from adults to defend our 
interests and make our voices heard.

We don't want you to sign useless petitions or give a monthly donation. We want 
you to come along to participate in the creation of a world based on peace, 
liberty, solidarity and equality.
