GLOBAL JUSTICE @ OWS

Friday: 3 February 2012
6 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

60 Wall Street Atrium, Manhattan, NYC

Occupy Freeport is staging a demonstration on Friday, February 3, at the Phoenix, Arizona, headquarters of Freeport McMoRan, a multinational corporation running one of the world's largest and most environmentally destructive mines in West Papua, a territory invaded by Indonesia in 1961. Defying brutal oppression by Indonesian security forces and U.S. mercenaries, Papuan workers recently won a wage increase following a months-long strike.  In solidarity with the protest on Friday, the East Timor and Indonesia Action Network (ETAN) will host a discussion about the possibilities of global coalitions for justice featuring Eben Kirksey, an anthropologist whose forthcoming book explores a dynamic struggle for freedom in West Papua and Indonesia.  This event is in collaboration IWW, Occupy Phoenix, and the social justice movement in West Papua.
