Environmental organisations are calling on the public to participate in a national protest in Valletta on Saturday 27 May. The protest will start at 10.30 am from the Triton Fountain.
All groups around Malta and Gozo, both formal and informal, can endorse this protest by contacting us on info@xebbajtuna.org or filling in the online form on this website www.xebbajtuna.org. Groups can include non-governmental organisations as well as residents, students, workers and farmers: all non-partisan groups whose aims are in line with the demands of the protest are invited to join.
We are living a state of emergency. The quality of life and the natural environment of our islands are deteriorating rapidly due to a frenzy of reckless building everywhere. We are in this mess for one clear reason. Behind this wave of environmental destruction lies a web of politicians and developers who have created a system that serves the profit of the few instead of the common good.
This dire situation can only change with unity among all those groups who have the common good at heart. Our battle cry will be: Enough is enough – we demand environmental and planning reform NOW!

Press Conference - Drop the Charges Now!
2023-06-09 17:30 - 19:30 | Law Courts, VGX6+9RQ, Republic Street, Valletta, Malta
Local leaders of the El Hiblu 3 campaign would like to invite you to join us this Friday June 9th at the Office of the AG, South Street, Valletta to press for the outrageous charges against Amara, Abdalla and Kader to be dropped.
Recently the vessel owner Salah el Hiblu was charged with major cocaine smuggling in Spain. His credibility as the prosecution’s main witness is thus seriously damaged.
In addition, we have collected more signatures for the petition in recent weeks.
We do hope you can join us in an effort to ameliorate the growing institutionalised racism and to end the terror that the young men feel confronted by these trumped-up charges that could lead to life sentences.

Sisterhood - Let's Talk About It
2023-06-15 18:30 - 21:30 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Come and join us for a community discussion on the theme of ‘Sisterhood’. We want to explore and understand the perceptions of sisterhood, and what it means to us.
When was this word first used and what does it mean to women and feminists? What is cis-sterhood, and is it a politically neutral word? What does this word mean to you and do you like to use it? Is it a concept, and idea or a practice? We will open the discussion to everyone’s ideas!
Doors open at 6pm, with discussion starting at 6:30pm. We will also have a bar with drinks and nibbles available!

Thrift for Solidarity - Fundraiser for Syrian LGBTIQ+
2023-08-06 17:00 - 21:00 | Maori Bar, Boat Street, Valletta, Malta
MGRM, YMCA Malta, Moviment Graffitti and friends will be thrifting to fundraise for our LGBTQI+ siblings in Syria.
While for a lot of Maltese, the earthquake was a news item that we heard of earlier this year, people are still suffering from the after effects, causing an indescribable trauma to a magnitude of which we can’t possibly understand.
While there has been amazing international support we know that international aid does not reach everyone equally, because society doesn’t deem everyone equal. The politicians that oppress the LGBTQI+ community in. Syria are the same that have responded inadequately to the worst natural disaster to ever hit the region.
Taxes raised for earthquake disaster relief are being misspent and the lack of disaster relief preparedness has cost too many lives.
Having already done one for a Turkish organisation last March, we were also meant to fund for a Syrian organisation, however, for reasons mentioned above, this required a bit more research and logistics, to ensure that the funds will ultimately reach the community.
We will be raising funds for SGSE/SEEN, who you can see more about here: https://www.instagram.com/sgse.syria/
This will be done thanks to our community members who will return to host stalls with clothes, books, art and more for you to thrift away at.
Everyone is welcome.
Later on, we will push the tables and dance our pent up frustrations away!
Massive thanks to Maori bar for offering to host us.

For the occasion of International Safe Abortion Day, join us for a screening of ‘The Janes’ followed by brief talks and a group discussion!
The 2022 documentary tells the true story of members of the Jane Collective, a group of women who performed abortions in the US from 1968 until abortion was legalised in 1973 through Roe v. Wade. The documentary features interviews with several members of the collective. (Roe v. Wade was in effect until 2022, when it was overturned).
After the screening, we will turn our attention to the local context.
We will first have 2 brief talks by Prof Isabel Stabile and Dr Natalie Psaila from Doctors for Choice, who will talk about the local Family Planning Advisory Service (FPAS Malta), which provides information on reproductive health, and the Abortion Doula Support Service, which provides information and support specifically on abortion. Next, Liza Caruana-Finkel, a helpline volunteer with Abortion Support Network, will talk about the organisation’s work in helping people across Europe (including Malta) access abortions through information and financial assistance.
Afterwards, we will open up to a group discussion on abortion in relation to Malta. Bring your thoughts and questions!
Entrance is free, and you are welcome to bring your own snacks or purchase drinks from the bar!

Rally ta' Malta Pro-Choice 2023 // Malta's Pro-Choice Rally 2023
2023-09-30 16:00 - 18:00 | Monument of Manuel Dimech, Castille Square, Valletta, Malta
Ingħaqad magħna għall-Mixja u r-Rally ta’ Malta Pro-Choice 2023, li se sseħħ is-Sibt 30 ta’ Settembru!
L-attività se tibda b’mixja li se titlaq minn Pjazza Kastilja, il-Belt Valletta. Il-mixja se tibda fl-4pm, b’hekk nitolbu lil dawk li ħa jattendu sabiex ikunu hemm ftit qabel. Wara li nimxu mill-Belt, se ninġabru finalment quddiem il-qrati tal-liġi. Fost oħrajn, hemmhekk ser ikollna sensiela ta’ kelliema, prestazzjonijiet u anke merċ bħal flokkijiet u tote bags.
It-tema ta’ din is-sena hija ‘l-istigma tal-abort.’
Kull sena, mijiet ta’ individwi f’Malta għamlu abort. Fil-fatt, kull wieħed u waħda minna nafu ’l xi ħadd li xi darba għamlu abort. L-abort huwa komuni. L-abort huwa normali.
Iżda l-abort huwa wkoll kriminalizzat. Ftit xhur ilu biss f’Malta, mara ġiet imħarrka talli għamlet abort. Din ġiet irrappurtata mill-partner abbużiv tagħha, u l-Istat għen biex ikompli ċ-ċiklu tal-vjolenza.
Nies li jagħmlu abort m’għandhomx jiġu ġġudikati jew kriminalizzati. Ir-residenti kollha ta’ Malta ħaqqhom li kollha jiġu trattati b’rispett u li jkollhom l-awtonomija sabiex niddeċiedu x’inhu l-aħjar għalina, għal ġisimna, għal ħajjitna.
Il-koalizzjoni Voice for Choice, li hija magħmula minn 14-il organizzazzjoni u grupp, se tkompli tiġġieled sakemm l-abort jiġi dekriminalizzat, normalizzat, destigmatizzat, u jsir disponibbli u aċċessibbli lokalment.
Ingħaqad magħna!
******
Join us for Malta’s Pro-Choice March and Rally 2023, which will take place on Saturday 30th September!
The event starts with a march departing from Castille Square, Valletta. The march will start at 4pm, so please arrive before then. After walking through Valletta, we will gather in front of the law courts. There, we will have speeches, performances, merchandise, and more!
This year’s theme is ‘abortion stigma.’
Each year, hundreds of people in Malta have abortions. In fact, we all know and love people who have had abortions. Abortion is common. Abortion is normal.
But abortion is also criminalised. Just a few months ago, a woman was prosecuted for having an abortion in Malta. Reported to the police by her abusive partner, the State helped perpetuate the cycle of violence.
People who have abortions should not be judged or criminalised. All residents of Malta deserve to be treated with respect and to have the autonomy to decide what is best for ourselves, our bodies, our lives.
The Voice for Choice coalition, made up of 14 organisations and groups, will continue to fight until abortion is decriminalised, normalised, destigmatised, and made available and accessible locally.
Join us!

End the Genocide in Gaza
2023-10-21 10:30 - 12:00 | Parliament Square, Valletta City Gate, Valletta, Malta
Palestinians in Gaza are being massacred by Israel with the complicity of Europe. Continuous bombardments, including the bombardment of a school and a hospital, led to thousands of children, women and men to be brutally killed. And Gaza is also dying of thirst, hunger and desperation after Israel stopped the supply of water, food and fuel.
On Saturday we are meeting in front of Parliament in Valletta, where we will lie on the ground in solidarity with the people of Gaza, the victims of a cruel oppression that we cannot even start to imagine.
Gaza is a strip of land the size of Malta, turned into a prison by Israel in 2007. Around two and a half million Palestinians live on this piece of land, most of them refugees forcibly displaced from their land in 1948 with the creation of the Israeli state.
For 75 years, Israel has been forcing Palestinians out of their homes while implementing an apartheid system. And in these last two corners that they have left – Gaza and the West Bank – Israel has continued to colonise Palestinians and to keep them under siege.
But now Israel has moved on to the next phase: Genocide.
There has never been a time when international solidarity with the Palestinian people was needed as much as it is today. Europe should immediately ask for the attacks on Gaza to stop and impose sanctions on Israel as long as it continues to occupy Palestinian territories.
See you on Saturday!

Il-Palestinjani f’Gaża qed jiġu mmassakrati mill-Iżrael bil-kompliċità tal-Ewropa. Bumbardamenti bla waqfien, inkluż il-bumbardament ta’ skola u sptar, wasslu għal eluf ta’ tfal, nisa u rġiel maqtula brutalment. U Gaża qed tmut ukoll bil-għatx, bil-ġuħ u bid-disperazzjoni wara li l-Iżrael waqqaf id-dħul tal-ilma, l-ikel u l-fuel.
Nhar is-Sibt se niltaqgħu quddiem il-Parlament, il-Belt Valletta, fejn ser ninxteħtu mal-art b’solidarjetà man-nies f’Gaża li huma l-vittimi ta’ ħruxija li lanqas biss nistgħu nimmaġinaw.
Gaża hija strixxa t’art id-daqs ta’ Malta, mibdula f’ħabs mill-Iżrael fl-2007. Fiha jgħixu madwar żewġ miljun u nofs Palesintjan, ħafna minnhom refuġjati li kienu tkeċċew mill-artijiet tagħhom bil-forza fl-1948 meta nħoloq l-istat izraeljan.
Għal 75 snin sħaħ, l-Iżrael keċċa lill-Palestinjani minn djarhom u implimenta sistema ta’ apartheid. U anka fl-aħħar żewġ irkejjen li fadlilhom – Gaża u x-Xatt tal-Punent – l-Iżrael komplja jassedjahom u jikkolonizzahom.
Imma issa l-Iżrael għadda għall-fażi li jmiss. Ġenoċidju.
Qatt daqs bħalissa ma hija meħtieġa s-solidarejta intenazzjonali mal-poplu Palestinjan. L-Ewropa għandha titlob minnufih għall-waqfien tal-attakki fuq Gaża u timponi sanzjonijiet fuq l-Iżrael sakem dan jibqa’ jokkupa l-artijiet Palestinjani.
Narawkom is-Sibt!

Her-Story: Women's Suffrage in Malta
2023-10-23 18:30 - 20:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
In October 1947, women in Malta could vote for the first time.
Maltese women did not take to the streets to fight for the vote but it was still a huge struggle, fought in the corridors of power and on the media, until their right as equal citizens was recognised by a male dominated political system. Such important events of her-story are often neglected and perhaps not given the importance they deserve.
Today, 76 years later, women’s political representation in Malta still remains relatively low. Women have still not managed to make significant inroads in the local political sphere. We will be discussing the part of her-story related to women’s suffrage in Malta with Professor Carmen Sammut who has published research in this area.
Professor Sammut will give a short presentation on the topic followed by a community discussion.
We invite you to join us for a glass of wine and to participate in the conversation on Monday, 23rd October at 6.30 p.m.
Entrance is free.

Echoes of Silence: A Tribute to Bernice Cilia
2023-11-22 07:30 - 08:30 | MCAST, The Malta College of Arts, Science & Technology, Paola, Malta
As we near the poignant first anniversary of Bernice Cilia’s untimely and tragic departure, we warmly extend an invitation to you for a Silent March and Tribute Gathering.
This solemn occasion is not only to honour and cherish the memory of Bernice but also to unite in a resolute stance against the pervasive scourge of domestic violence. Together we will walk in silence, a symbol of our collective spirit and commitment, followed by a gathering where we will celebrate Bernice’s enduring legacy of love and courage, and reflect on our shared responsibility to challenge and change the deeply entrenched norms that perpetuate domestic violence.
In honouring Bernice, we recommit ourselves to this vital cause, inspired by her strength and the unyielding spirit of all who seek to end this cycle of violence.
The family extends its heartfelt gratitude to Moviment Graffitti for their invaluable support in preparing this event

Migrant Children in Malta - Documentary screening and discussion
2023-11-23 18:30 - 20:30 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us this evening for the screening of 4 short documentaries and a community discussion on migrant children. To celebrate World Children’s Day, we will come together to talk about children’s rights, specifically those who are migrants, refugees, without citizenship and/or stateless.
We will be showing 4 short documentaries on migrant children.
– ‘A Life On Hold’ follows Somali refugee Omar, who was forced to leave Somalia at 13 years old because of war.
– ‘The House is not There’ is an animated video about Henry, who was a child soldier in El Salvador.
– Finally, two Minsija videos, a collaboration between MaltaToday, MCAST and Moviment Graffitti, tell the stories of Alex who was born in Sudan and fled to Malta at the age of 7 and 17-year-old Joseph who was born in Malta but is still stateless.
Millions of people worldwide are stateless, and many among them are children. This means they are not recognised by any country, they are not provided with birth certificates, and they are denied access to education, legal employment, health, etc. According to 2023 numbers, over 170 people in Malta are stateless and half of them are children.
This evening we will have a community discussion that we hope will help in pressuring the Maltese government to take action and enforce the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and international law, and take measures that allow migrant children to live a dignified life.

Protesta tar-Residenti Kontra l-Impjant tat-Tarmak fl-Imqabba
2023-11-26 10:00 - 12:00 | Qrendi Parish Church, 30 Triq Il-Parroċċa, Il-Qrendi, Malta
Nhar il-Ħadd li ġej, residenti mill-Imqabba, il-Qrendi, iż-Żurrieq u s-Siġġiewi se jkunu qed jingħaqdu flimkien fi protesta kontra r-rilokazzjoni ta’ impjant tat-tarmak u l-konkrit fl-Imqabba.
Il-protesta se tibda fl-10am quddiem il-Knisja Parrokkjali tal-Qrendi fejn wara se ssir mixja paċifika sal-Knisja ta’ San Mattew tal-Maqluba.
Aħna se nkunu qed nattendu din il-protesta b’turija ta’ appoġġ lejn dawn ir-residenti u nħeġġu lil kull min huwa affettwat biex jattendi bi ħġaru.
Ir-residenti, flimkien mal-Kunsilli Lokali tal-lokalitajiet rispettivi, jinsabu serjament imħassba dwar l-effetti li impjant tat-tarmak u tal-konkrit, madwar 500 metru biss ’il bogħod minn żoni residenzjali, se jkollu fuq saħħithom u l-kwalità tal-ħajja tagħhom.
Hija ġennata li l-awtoritajiet, fosthom l-ERA, mhuma jsibu l-ebda oġġezzjoni għar-rilokazzjoni ta’ dan l-impjant qalb ir-residenti. L-ERA qed tgħid li l-impatti li dan l-impjant jista’ jkollu f’termini ta’ storbju u ġenerazzjoni ta’ trabijiet mhumiex ta’ tħassib, iżda ma ssemmi xejn dwar id-dħaħen tossiċi għas-saħħa li kapaċi jipproduċu dawn l-impjanti.
Nistgħu nistaqsu lir-residenti tal-Iklin u San Ġwann li jgħixu qrib l-impjant tal-Bitmac dwar id-dħaħen tossiċi li jiġġeneraw impjanti tal-asfalt. Dawn ir-residenti ilhom snin jibilgħu dħaħen tal-asfalt fi djarhom u jitkarrbu mal-awtoritajiet biex tittieħed azzjoni, iżda l-awtoritajiet jibqgħu jkaxkru saqajhom.
Dan l-attakk fuq saħħitna u l-kwalità tal-ħajja tagħna hemm bżonn li jieqaf. Ejjew ningħaqdu mar-residenti tal-Imqabba nhar il-Ħadd sabiex nuru lill-awtoritajiet li aħna lesti nagħmlu dak kollu li hu meħtieġ sabiex nissalvagwardjaw saħħitna u saħħet uliedna.

Dimostrazzjoni - Reżistenza għall-kultura ta’ vjolenza
2023-11-26 15:00 - 17:00 | Triton Fountain, Vjal Nelson, Valletta, Malta
25th November is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Moviment Graffitti, together with Young Progressive Beings, is organising a protest march and action as a form of resistance to the culture of violence that characterises our patriarchal society.
A culture of violence is one which normalises, justifies and therefore creates a context where violence can flourish in all its forms. Violence against women can be domestic, physical, sexual, social, moral, psychological, economic, political, religious, financial you name it, women have been subjected to it. We live in a society where violence against women is often concealed behind jokes, unwanted comments full of sexual connotations (often disguised as compliments), and other stereotyped behaviour.

On Sunday 26th November, we will be meeting near the Triton Fountain at 11.00 a.m. to march in protest against this culture of violence and to empower women to resist violence in all its forms. Join us. Be part of the fight against gender-based violence, which affects mostly women. You can bring your own placards or use ours.

Ċine-Palestina: Screenings of Resistance - Farha
2023-11-26 18:00 - 20:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us for two evenings of free film screenings dedicated to Palestine.
The current situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and in Gaza is so alarming and worrying, that we must keep a spotlight on it. In the face of the current genocide in Gaza we tend to feel alone and totally powerless. Hence, we believe it is important to express our solidarity with the Palestinian people in any way possible. We cannot and we should not stop talking about these atrocities.
Ċine-Palestina will be showing two recently-released films concerning Palestine. After each screening there will be a short discussion about the film and the current situation, as well as nibbles and drinks from our bar.
Free entrance.
👉 Farha (2021) – 26th November, 18:00. Farha tells the story of the 1948 Nakba from the perspective of a young Palestinian girl.
👉 Gaza Mon Amour (2020) – 3rd December, 18:00. This romantic drama takes place in the daily life of Gaza. The film is not centred on political/historical facts, and will immerse you in the landscapes and lives of people in Gaza.
