Stop the Chuuk independence movement!

The Issue

We believe that improving the State of Chuuk ethically, fiscally, politically, educationally, socially, culturally, and spiritually should be the top priority of our political leadership, not secession from the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Keeping FSM united is the wisest option to take in preparation for 2023 for all FSM citizens living at home and abroad. The Chuuk Political Status Commission has not done their basic duties in studying all options while protecting the rights of entry to US for Chuukese citizens under the FSM Compact of Free Association (COFA).
