Indonesia on the Brink of Crisis: Choose Peace, Justice, and Sustainability—Not Crisis
The escalating conflict between the public and state officials, driven by socioeconomic injustice, abuse of power, and a lack of transparency, is eroding trust in public institutions, disrupting economic stability, and threatening social cohesion. Capital flight, the weakening of the rupiah, rising unemployment, and delays in climate and sustainability programs place both the welfare of the Indonesian people and Indonesia's global standing at serious risk.
We call upon all stakeholders—including the government, parliament, security forces, the business community, academics, civil society, the media, and the public—to end repression and violence, prevent political fragmentation, and open inclusive dialogue. Only through justice, transparency, and the protection of sustainability can Indonesia restore public trust, safeguard democracy, and secure a peaceful and sustainable future.
Joint Call to Action
We call on all stakeholders—including the government, parliament, security forces, business actors, academics, activists, the media, and the wider public—to take concrete steps and exercise restraint:
Reinforce the rule of law, strengthen the social order, and uphold the values of gotong royong (mutual cooperation) and mutual respect among all members of society.
Strengthen law enforcement while maintaining sensitivity, tolerance, and respect for human rights, including protecting the public's right to protest and submit grievances to the government.
Immediately pass the Asset Confiscation Bill (RUU Perampasan Aset) as a demonstration of the nation's commitment to combating corruption, collusion, and nepotism (KKN), in accordance with the mandate of the 1998 Reformasi movement.
Immediately eradicate exploitative natural resource extraction practices that disregard environmental, economic, social, and sustainability considerations, disproportionately favor investors, and exclude the participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, thereby exacerbating poverty and social inequality.
Prioritize social justice and firmly enforce the law in corruption cases, without favoritism or discrimination.
Uphold the authority and credibility of the government. End all forms of violence and provocation, whether verbal or physical.
Strengthen honest, transparent public communication that respects the public.
Create inclusive spaces for dialogue among the government, civil society, academia, and the private sector to seek collective solutions.
Significantly improve the performance of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches in line with the expectations of the Indonesian people and the democratic principles of accountability, transparency, and public participation.
Protect sustainability initiatives, projects, programs, and businesses that support climate crisis mitigation based on the principles of climate justice, so that current and future generations of Indonesians do not suffer losses or lose global confidence.
We must remember: Indonesia is greater than any single generation, group, or political interest.
Rebuilding this nation requires cross-sector collaboration and a collective commitment to making sustainability and the welfare of the Indonesian people the highest priorities.
