West Papua Campaign USA (WPC-USA) plays a pivotal role in assisting the West Papuan community in the United States. This is especially critical for students who make up the overwhelming majority—about 99%—of the West Papuan population in the U.S. With the guiding motto “None West Papuan Left Behind in the USA,” the organization offers low bono (reduced fee) immigration legal services. These services are crucial in helping individuals and families navigate the often complex and daunting U.S. immigration system, ensuring they can secure their legal status and remain in the country legally. Beyond providing legal assistance, WPC-USA’s mission extends to empowering the community at large. This involves offering access to essential resources that go beyond legal aid, such as educational opportunities, mental health support, and community-building initiatives. By addressing a range of needs, WPC-USA aims to create a well-rounded support system that can uplift and strengthen the West Papuan community in a holistic manner. The organization’s comprehensive approach ensures that West Papuans in the U.S. have the necessary support to overcome challenges and thrive. This effort not only helps individuals but also fosters a sense of solidarity and resilience within the community. By empowering individuals, WPC-USA is building a stronger, more unified network of West Papuans who can support each other and contribute positively to their new environment.
