‘‘I will ALWAYS stand with any Indigenous person globally, who wants freedom, self determination and Independence from colonial rule or imperialism.

If that’s the East Timorese people once colonised by the Portuguese, or The West Papuans who are currently calling for Independence from Indonesia, but especially for Palestinians who are calling for Freedom and Peace under a brutal Israeli Rule.

We can’t talk about Sovereignty, Imperialism, Occupation or Land Back, without considering Palestine.

Our struggle as blakfullas is connected to all Indigenous people across the world, who like us, face direct and immediate settler violence.

Standing together unites us and makes us stronger.

We aren’t free until all Blak, Indigenous and First peoples are free.

Free Palestine, Free West Papua and Always Was!’
