Ġustizzja għal Artna: Irtirawhom Issa! - KONFERENZA STAMPA
2025-09-29 18:00 - 19:30 | Planning Authority, St Francis Ravelin, Floriana, Malta
Nhar it-Tnejn, 29 ta’ Settembru fis-6pm, se niltaqgħu quddiem l-Awtorità tal-Ippjanar sabiex nispjegaw ir-raġunijiet għaliex qed insejħu għal protesta nazzjonali nhar is-Sibt 4 ta’ Ottubru, u t-talbiet urġenti tagħna quddiem sitwazzjoni gravi ħafna.
F’Lulju li għadda, il-Gvern ippreżenta żewġ liġijiet li se jneħħu s-salvagwardji kollha li għandna fil-qasam tal-ippjanar. Wara ftit ġimgħat, ġiet ukoll ippubblikata l-proposta ta’ tliet avviżi legali li se jagħtu amnestija lil kull tip ta’ illegalità madwar Malta u Għawdex, mingħajr lanqas biss limitu fuq daqs, skop jew post.
Minkejja li l-poplu rnexxielu jwaqqaf lill-Gvern milli jgħaddi dawn il-liġijiet inkiss inkiss f’nofs is-sajf, dawn għadhom hemm, u nafu li l-Gvern se jipprova jsib l-ewwel opportunità biex jgħaddihom.
Għalhekk, qed inħeġġukom tattendu għall-Konferenza Stampa ta’ nhar it-Tnejn fejn se nuru kemm it-theddida għalina, għal pajjiżna, u għal uliedna hija kbira u teħtieġ ir-reżistenza kollettiva tal-poplu biex flimkien inwaqqfu dan il-kolp ta’ stat mill-iżviluppaturi.
Xerrdu l-kelma!

On Monday, 29th September at 6pm, we will gather in front of the Planning Authority to explain the reasons why we are calling the national protest on Saturday, 4th October, and to present our urgent demands in the face of a very serious situation.
Last July, the Government presented two laws that would remove all safeguards in the planning sector. A few weeks later, a proposal for three legal notices was also published, which would grant amnesty to all forms of illegalities across Malta and Gozo, without any limits on size, type, or location.
Although the people managed to stop the Government from passing these laws by stealth in the middle of summer, they are still on the table, and we know that the Government will try to seize the first opportunity to pass them.
This is why we are urging you to attend Monday’s press conference, where we will show just how great the threat is – to us, to our country, and to our children – and how it demands the collective resistance of the people to stop this developers’ coup from being carried out.
Spread the word.
Ġustizzja għal Artna: Kill the Bills!

Ġustizzja għal Artna: Iritrawhom Issa! - PROTESTA NAZZJONALI
2025-10-04 10:00 - 13:00 | Law Courts, VGX6+9RQ, Republic Street, Valletta, Malta
A national protest, Ġustizzja għal Artna: Irtirawhom Issa!, is being called for Saturday 4th October at 10am in response to the total assault on our environment and quality of life being pushed through under the guise of a planning “reform”.
The need for action is urgent and dire. Government is intent on forcing through two planning bills and three legal notices that will dismantle existing safeguards, place serious obstacles to effective public appeals, and regularise all kinds of illegalities across the country.
If this legal package is approved, Malta and Gozo will be ruled entirely by the wishes of developers, while the common people will be left under siege from harmful development permitted without even today’s minimal regulatory controls and scrutiny.
This is a grave threat to our country, and only the people’s resistance can fend it off.
Our demands are:

The immediate withdrawal of the draft bills and legal notices. Consultation cannot take place on legislation that is fundamentally flawed, malicious in intent, and beyond repair.
The urgent introduction of a measure suspending works on developments approved by the Planning Authority while an appeal is ongoing, through an amendment to existing law.
The publication of a White Paper to launch a genuine consultation on the broader planning reforms Malta truly needs.

People will gather at the Law Courts at 10am and march to Castille, where speeches will take place.
The national protest is the first action announced as part of the Ġustizzja għal Artna campaign launched last week. Groups across Malta and Gozo, both formal and informal, are invited to join the protest and the campaign by emailing info@gustizzjartna.org.
More information about the campaign and its demands can be found at www.gustizzjartna.org.

Se ssir protesta nazzjonali, Ġustizzja għal Artna: Irtirawhom Issa!, nhar is-Sibt 4 ta’ Ottubru fl-10am bħala reazzjoni għall-attakk totali fuq l-ambjent u l-kwalità tal-ħajja tagħna, li qed jiġi ppreżentat bħala taparsi “riforma” tal-ippjanar.
Il-ħtieġa għall-azzjoni hija urġenti u serja. Il-Gvern jinsab determinat li jmexxi ’l quddiem żewġ abbozzi ta’ liġi dwar l-ippjanar, u tliet avviżi legali, li se jeqirdu l-protezzjonijiet eżistenti, joħolqu ostakli serji għall-appelli effettivi mill-pubbliku, u jirregolarizzaw kull tip ta’ illegalitajiet madwar il-pajjiż.
Jekk dan il-pakkett legali jiġi approvat, Malta u Għawdex se jkunu mmexxija kompletament mir-rieda tal-iżviluppaturi, filwaqt li n-nies komuni jispiċċaw taħt assedju minn żvilupp ta’ ħsara li se jkun permess saħansitra mingħajr il-kontroll u l-iskrutinju minimu li jeżisti llum.
Din hija theddida gravi għal pajjiżna, u hija biss ir-reżistenza tal-poplu li tista’ twaqqafha.
It-talbiet tagħna huma:

L-irtirar immedjat tal-abbozzi ta’ liġi u l-avviżi legali. Ma tistax issir konsultazzjoni dwar leġiżlazzjoni li hija fundamentalment difettuża, malizzjuża fl-intenzjoni tagħha, u li ma tistax tissewwa.
L-introduzzjoni urġenti ta’ miżura li tissospendi x-xogħlijiet ta’ żviluppi approvati mill-Awtorità tal-Ippjanar waqt li jkun għaddej appell, permezz ta’ emenda għal-liġi eżistenti.
Il-pubblikazzjoni ta’ White Paper biex titnieda konsultazzjoni ġenwina dwar ir-riformi usa’ tal-ippjanar li Malta verament teħtieġ.

In-nies se jinġabru quddiem il-Qorti fl-10am u jimxu lejn Kastilja, fejn se jsiru xi diskorsi.
Il-protesta nazzjonali hija l-ewwel azzjoni mħabbra bħala parti mill-kampanja Ġustizzja għal Artna li ġiet imnedija l-ġimgħa li għaddiet. Gruppi madwar Malta u Għawdex, kemm formali kif ukoll informali, huma mistiedna jissieħbu fil-protesta u fil-kampanja billi jibagħtu email fuq info@gustizzjartna.org.
Aktar tagħrif dwar il-kampanja u t-talbiet tagħha jinsab fuq www.gustizzjartna.org.

Ġustizzja Għal Artna: Flimkien, Inwaqqfuhom! - PROTESTA
2025-10-27 17:30 - 20:00 | Law Courts, VGX6+9RQ, Republic Street, Valletta, Malta
Il-kampanja Ġustizzja għal Artna qed issejjaħ lin-nies biex jerġgħu jingħaqdu fi protesta t-Tnejn, is-27 ta’ Ottubru. Il-protesta se tibda fil-5.30pm minn quddiem il-Qorti u tibqa’ miexja lejn il-Parlament.
Ripetutament stqarrejna li nippreferu npoġġu madwar mejda u niddiskutu r-riformi urġenti li pajjiżna għandu bżonn fil-qasam tal-ambjent u l-ippjanar. Madankollu, minkejja l-għajta tal-poplu għal ġustizzja — inklużi dawk l-eluf li s-Sibt, 4 ta’ Ottubru ħarġu jipprotestaw fit-toroq tal-Belt — il-Prim Ministru Robert Abela qed jibqa’ jirrifjuta li jisma’ lill-poplu.
L-hekk imsejħa “riforma” tal-ippjanar hija mannara mdendla fuq għonq in-nies. Il-fatt li din il-protesta se taħbat mal-jum li fih jiġi ppreżentat il-Baġit mhuwiex kumbinazzjoni. Il-messaġġ tagħna huwa ċar: dan mhuwiex ‘business as usual’.
Iż-żewġ abbozzi tal-ippjanar u t-tliet avviżi legali jippreżentaw theddida imminenti għall-postijiet li huma l-aktar għal qalbna, għall-komunitajiet tagħna, għall-ġustizzja soċjali, u għad-demokrazija.
Se jżarmaw is-salvagwardji eżistenti kollha kontra l-iżvilupp bla rażan billi jneħħu s-saħħa effettiva tar-regolamenti tal-ippjanar u jagħtu kontroll assolut lill-Awtorità korrotta tal-Ippjanar.
Id-dritt tal-pubbliku li jappella deċiżjonijiet illegali b’mod effettiv se jiġi severament limitat, u l-Qorti se titlef is-setgħa tagħha li tirrevoka permessi illegali.
L-avviżi legali se jagħtu amnestija totali għal kull xorta ta’ illegalità li saret sas-sena l-oħra, b’ebda limitu fuq it-tip, id-daqs jew il-post li fih saret.
Nemmnu bis-sħiħ li n-nies għandhom is-saħħa li jwaqqfu dan l-attakk fuq il-kwalità tal-ħajja tagħhom. Għalhekk qed nerġgħu nsejħu lill-pubbliku biex insaħħu din il-ġlieda kontra l-bullies ta’ dan il-pajjiż — dawk li jemmnu li l-flus jagħtuhom id-dritt li jirfsu fuq iċ-ċittadini komuni.
It-Tnejn 27 ta’ Ottubru, se nerġgħu nuruhom li aħna mhux se naċċettaw li ngħixu taħt il-ħakma tal-iżviluppaturi.
Flimkien, inwaqqfuhom!

The Ġustizzja għal Artna campaign is calling on the people to join a protest on Monday 27th October. The protest will start at 5:30pm from the Law Courts and move towards Parliament.
We have repeatedly stated that we would much rather sit around a table to discuss the urgent planning and environmental reforms our country needs. However, despite the people’s cry for justice, including the thousands who took to the streets on Saturday 4th October, Prime Minister Robert Abela continues to refuse to listen.
This so-called planning reform is a Damocles’ sword hanging over the people’s heads. It is no coincidence that this protest will coincide with the presentation of the annual Budget. Our message is clear: this is not business as usual.
The two planning bills and three legal notices pose an imminent threat to our most cherished places, our communities, social justice, and democracy.
They would dismantle all existing protections against unbridled construction by rendering planning regulations ineffective and placing full control in the hands of the corrupt Planning Authority.
They would also severely undermine the public’s right to effectively appeal illegal decisions, and strip the Court of its power to revoke illegal permits.
Additionally, the legal notices would grant a blanket amnesty for all sorts of illegalities committed up to last year, with no limits on type, size, or location.
We strongly believe that the people have the power to stop this assault on their quality of life and are the last lines of defence against the greed of developers. Thus, we call on the public to intensify this fight against the bullies of this country – those who believe that money gives them the right to trample over the common citizen.
On Monday 27th October, we’ll show once again that we refuse to live under the reign of developers.
Together, we’ll stop them!

Film Screening: Women Talking
2025-11-06 18:30 - 21:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us Thursday 6th November for the Film Screening: Women Talking
The 2022 film, directed by Sarah Polley, is a powerful adaptation of Miriam Toews’ novel inspired by true events. It tells the story of a group of women in an isolated religious colony as they grapple with the aftermath of sexual violence, and come together to decide their future, their faith, and their freedom.
Women Talking is a moving reflection on gender-based violence, solidarity, and the collective courage it takes to resist oppression – themes that remain painfully relevant today.
This screening forms part of the lead-up to the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on 25th November, a global day of action and awareness.
The screening will be followed by an open discussion, and entrance is free.
Thursday 6th November at 6:30pm, at Moviment Graffitti premises (67 Strait Street, Valletta)
Accessibility: Please note that the venue has stairs.

Screening of C'è Ancora Domani
2025-11-20 18:00 - 20:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us on Thursday 20th November for the screening of this beautiful 2023 film C’è Ancora Domani, by Paola Cortellesi which is being co-organised by Moviment Graffitti in collaboration with the Department of Gender and Sexualities of the University of Malta.
The film will start at 6.00 p.m. at Moviment Graffitti’s premises (67 Strait Street, Valletta).
The story takes place in post war Rome, in May 1946. Italian families are struggling with the afterwar poverty, the country is waiting to choose between remaining a monarchy or becoming a republic and to vote for the election of the Constituent Assembly. Women are voting for the very first time. In this movie, we follow the everyday life of Delia, a working-class woman, mother of three children and wife of Ivano. Her life is not easy .Between many jobs to earn some money, she faces the physical and verbal abuse of her husband and strives to give her daughter a better future. The movie shows a reality that seems far away from us, but as we all know systemic violence against women is still present in many different shapes.
This activity is being organised to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women which falls on the 25th November. The Screening will be followed by an open discussion introduced by Professor Marceline Naudi.
The event is free of charge.

One Voice Against Patriarchal Violence
2025-11-23 16:00 - 18:00 | Law Courts, VGX6+9RQ, Republic Street, Valletta, Malta
To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, Moviment Graffitti invites the public to a demonstration on Sunday 23rd November at 4pm in front of Law Courts, Valletta.
We want to underline the culture of verbal violence permeating our society on a daily basis, from the hateful and sexist comments on social media to cat calling and disempowering insults. We want to give visibility to the violence, physical and psychological, happening inside houses, behind closed doors, in workplaces, in schools, and in other institutions. We want to remember the victims of all the femicides that happened in the past years in Malta, and to say their names.
We invite the public to join us in the communal fight against patriarchal violence and to empower us to bring change. Join us with your placards and loud voices, so that we will be one united strong voice against patriarchal violence!

Vuċi Waħda Kontra l-Vjolenza Patrijarkali
Biex infakkru l-Jum Internazzjonali għall-Eliminazzjoni tal-Vjolenza kontra n-Nisa, il-Moviment Graffitti qed jistieden lill-pubbliku għal dimostrazzjoni nhar il-Ħadd 23 ta’ Novembru fl-4.00 ta’ waranofsinhar quddiem il-Qorti fil-Belt Valletta.
Irridu nenfasizzaw il-kultura tal-vjolenza verbali li tinxtered fis-soċjetà tagħna ta’ kuljum — mill-kummenti ta’ mibegħda u sessisti fuq il-midja soċjali, sal-“cat calling” u l-insulti li jnaqqsu d-dinjità tan-nisa. Irridu nagħtu viżibilità lill-vjolenza, kemm fiżika kif ukoll psikoloġika, li qed isseħħ ġewwa d-djar, wara bibien magħluqa, fil-postijiet tax-xogħol, fl-iskejjel u f’istituzzjonijiet oħra. Irridu nfakkru lill-vittmi tal-femmiċidji kollha li seħħew f’dawn l-aħħar snin f’Malta, u ngħidu isimhom.
Nistednu lill-pubbliku biex jingħaqad magħna fil-ġlieda komuni kontra l-vjolenza patrijarkali u biex flimkien nissaħħu u nġibu l-bidla. Ejjew bil-kartelluni u b’leħinkom għoli, biex inkunu leħen wieħed, qawwi u magħqud kontra l-vjolenza patrijarkali!

Tour Ġustizzja għal Artna - Birżebbuġa
2025-11-30 09:30 - 12:00 | Misraħ il-Knisja, Birżebbuġa, Birżebbuġa Parish Church, Birżebbuġa, Malta
L-ewwel waqfa tat-Tour Ġustizzja għal Artna ser tkun ġewwa l-pjazza ta’ Birżebbuġa, nhar il-Ħadd 30 ta’ Novembru, mid-9.30am sa nofsinhar.
Flimkien mal-Għaqda Storja u Kultura Birżebbuġa, ser ikollna stand b’informazzjoni dwar il-pakkett ta’ liġijiet fl-ippjanar li, jekk jgħaddi mill-Parlament, se jwassal għal ħerba ambjentali u soċjali bla preċedent. L-abbozzi ta’ liġi u l-avviżi legali ppreżentati mill-Gvern qed ifittxu li jżarmaw il-protezzjonijiet kollha li jeżistu sabiex jagħtu poter bla qies lill-iżviluppaturi.
Inħeġġukom iżżuru l-istand tagħna ħalli jkollna l-opportunità nitkellmu magħkom dwar l-impatt ta’ dawn il-liġijiet tal-biża’, fuq Malta inġenerali u fuq il-lokalità ta’ Birżebbuġa b’mod partikolari, kif ukoll sabiex tgħaddulna l-kummenti u s-suġġerimenti tagħkom.
Narawkom!
*****
The first stop of the Tour Ġustizzja għal Artna will be in the Birżebbuġa square, on Sunday 30th November, from 9:30am until noon.
Together with Għaqda Storja u Kultura Birżebbuġa, we will have a stand with information about the planning laws which, if enacted by Parliament, will lead to unprecedented environmental and social destruction. The draft laws and legal notices presented by the Government seek to dismantle all existing protections in order to grant developers unlimited power.
We encourage you to visit our stand so that we may have the opportunity to speak with you about the impact of these alarming laws on Malta in general and on the locality of Birżebbuġa in particular, as well as to receive your comments and suggestions.
See you there!

World AIDS Day: Silence = Death
2025-11-30 14:30 - 16:00 | Parliament Square, Valletta City Gate, Valletta, Malta
This Sunday, 30th November at 2.30 pm at Freedom Square in front of Parliament, a coalition of organisations will be marking World AIDS day which falls on Monday with a silent protest. We will meet in front of parliament to protest against the indifference, the silence, the stigma and the misconceptions that still surround living with HIV. We will protest silently with red cloths/ribbons on our mouths, eyes or ears to symbolise the silence surrounding HIV and the Government’s silence and inaction regarding the promise of free PrEP and PEP, which are essential medications in stemming the tide of new HIV diagnoses, continues to harm at risk communities. The silence is deafening. This needs to stop.
Join us on Sunday, bring your placards and your red cloths and ribbons to raise awareness about HIV silence, stigma and inaction. We ask people to wear red material around their mouths, eyes and/or ears, to show that just because one ignores HIV, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
In Malta, HIV is now a chronic manageable condition and not the death sentence it once was, however there are still issues that negatively impact the lives of people living with HIV and those around them. People living with HIV often carry the burden on their own because the huge stigma keeps them from sharing their status with others. Therefore, they lack the necessary support structures that would help them cope better with HIV. There are still many misconceptions about HIV, even though today, HIV medication suppresses the virus to the point that it cannot be transmitted to others, what we call U=U, Undetectable = Untransmittable.
HIV healthcare has improved greatly. However, there is still much that needs to be done. HIV medication is not accessible to everyone, due to issues with their residency status, and the government has still to deliver on its promise to invest in free HIV prevention medication such as PrEP and PEP. This has now become urgent, especially considering that Malta has one of the highest rates of HIV diagnoses in Europe.

Il-Jum Dinji tal-AIDS: Silenzju = Mewt
Nhar il-Ħadd, 30 ta’ Novembru fis-2.30 pm f’Misraħ il-Ħelsien quddiem il-Parlament, koalizzjoni ta’ organizzazzjonijiet se tkun qed tfakkar il-Jum dinji tal-AIDS, li jaħbat it-Tnejn, bi protesta siekta. Se niltaqgħu quddiem il-Parlament biex nipprotestaw kontra l-indifferenza, is-skiet, l-istigma u l-ideat żbaljati li għadhom marbuta mal-HIV. Se nipprotestaw b’mod sieket b’biċċiet jew żigarelli ħomor jgħattulna ħalqna, għajnejna jew widnejna bħala simbolu tas-skiet li jikkaratterizza l-HIV u s-silenzju u n-nuqqas ta’ azzjoni tal-Gvern dwar il-wegħda tiegħu li jipprovdi PrEP u PEP b’xejn—mediċini essenzjali biex jitwaqqaf it-tixrid ta’ każi ġodda tal-HIV—li l-assenza tagħhom tkompli tagħmel ħsara lill-komunitajiet li jinsabu f’riskju. Hawn skiet itarrax. Hemm bżonn li nwaqqfuh.
Ingħaqdu magħna nhar il-Ħadd waranofsinhar; ġibu magħkom il-kartelluni u l-biċċiet u l-faxex ħomor biex inżidu l-għarfien dwar is-skiet, l-istigma u n-nuqqas ta’ azzjoni dwar l-HIV. Nitolbu lin-nies jilbsu faxex jew żigarelli ħomor fuq ħalqhom, għajnejhom u/jew widnejhom biex nuru li għalkemm l-HIV qed tiġi njorata ma jfissirx li ma teżistix.
F’Malta, l-HIV illum hija kundizzjoni kronika li tista’ tiġi kkontrollata u mhux is-sentenza tal-mewt li kienet darba, iżda għad hemm kwistjonijiet li jaffettwaw b’mod negattiv il-ħajja tan-nies li jgħixu bl-HIV u ta’ dawk ta’ madwarhom. Persuni li jgħixu bl-HIV spiss iġorru l-piż waħedhom minħabba l-istigma kbira li żżommhom milli jaqsmu l-istatus tagħhom ma’ ħaddieħor. Għaldaqstant, ma jkollhomx l-appoġġ meħtieġ li jgħinhom jinnavigaw l-HIV aħjar. Għad hemm ħafna ideat żbaljati dwar l-HIV, minkejja li llum il-mediċina tal-HIV tirrippressa l-virus sal-punt li ma jistax jiġi trażmess lil ħaddieħor—dak li nsejħulu U=U, Undetectable = UntransmittableIl-kura tal-HIV tjiebet b’mod sinifikanti. Iżda għad hemm ħafna xi jsir. Il-mediċina tal-HIV mhijiex aċċessibbli għal kulħadd minħabba kwistjonijiet relatati mal-permess tar-residenza, u l-Gvern għadu ma wettaqx il-wegħda tiegħu li jinvesti f’mediċini ta’ prevenzjoni tal-HIV b’xejn bħal PrEP u PEP. Dan issa sar urġenti, speċjalment meta wieħed iqis li Malta għandha waħda mill-ogħla rati ta’ dijanjosi tal-HIV fl-Ewropa.

Film Screening: No Other Land
2025-12-05 19:00 - 21:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Film Screening: No Other Land
Introduced by the testimony of Suheir T. from the West Bank
On Friday 5 December, we will meet at the Moviment Graffitti premises at 67 Strait Street, Valletta, for the screening of the film No Other Land. The film offers a direct testimony of the challenges faced by Palestinians living in Masafer Yatta in the South Hebron Hills of the occupied West Bank.
Through the lens of a unique filmmaking collective, it documents the relentless struggle of Palestinian communities facing systematic harassment, home demolitions, and violent displacement by Israeli forces. More than just a chronicle of loss, No Other Land is a profound story of sumud (steadfastness) and a testament to the human spirit’s resilience in the face of erasure, capturing both the brutality of occupation and the bonds of solidarity that form in its shadow.
The event will be introduced by a testimony from Suheir T., who will share her account from Palestine. Suheir is the mental-health adviser for an organisation that provides mental-health and health services to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
While the world’s attention may drift with headlines about ceasefires in Gaza, this film and the testimonies coming from Palestine compel us to confront a different, ongoing reality. The violence of displacement is a daily, grinding experience for Palestinians living under occupation, particularly in Area C of the West Bank, which is under full Israeli military control. Communities are forcibly displaced while facing daily settler and military harassment, and their homes and schools are bulldozed, scattering families into the desert.
These are not isolated events but part of a systematic pattern to ethnically cleanse the West Bank and Gaza of their Palestinian populations. In this context, as an act of awareness, by bearing witness to these stories we move beyond the headlines to understand the human cost of this conflict.
Indeed, it is through this understanding that meaningful advocacy can be built — advocacy that insists there can be no peace without justice, and no justice without a Palestine free from the river to the sea.

Malta: No Music for Genocide - PRESS CONFERENCE
2026-02-07 11:00 - 12:00 | Public Broadcasting Services, 75 Triq San Luqa, Tal-Pietà, PTA 1022, Malta
On Saturday, 7 February, at 11am, we will be holding a press conference in front of PBS, where we will explain the reasons for the national protest “Malta: No Music for Genocide.”
The national protest, which will take place on Saturday, 21 February, at 3pm, starting from in front of Parliament, is calling on Malta to withdraw from Eurovision 2026 as long as the genocidal state of Israel is allowed to participate.
During the press conference, representatives of organisations and people from the arts scene will insist that PBS – the entity responsible for Malta’s participation in the Eurovision – withdraw from this competition, which is being used by Israel to normalise the genocide in Gaza and to conceal its colonial policies.
We encourage you to join us!

Malta: L-Ebda Mużika għall-Ġenoċidju - PROTESTA NAZZJONALI
2026-02-21 15:00 - 16:30 | Parliament Square, Valletta City Gate, Valletta, Malta
We are calling a national protest on Saturday, 21 February, at 3pm, starting from outside Parliament in Valletta.
Artists, organisations, communities, and members of the public will unite to march for Malta’s withdrawal from the Eurovision 2026 as long as the genocidal state of Israel is allowed to participate.
Israel’s conduct constitutes a threat to all of humanity. Its ongoing genocide in Gaza has massacred over 70,000 Palestinians, the majority of whom are children, and has razed the territory to the ground. This genocide follows decades of illegal occupation, apartheid policies, settler expansion, and the mass kidnapping, expulsion, and dispossession of Palestinians. Israel is also currently extending its colonial occupation into Lebanon and Syria.
The arts and culture sphere – and the Eurovision in particular – does not exist separately from these realities. Cultural platforms are used by Israel to launder its blood-soaked reputation. Last year, in the midst of the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli broadcaster allocated a record budget to its Eurovision participation. In contrast, Russia was immediately barred from the Eurovision following its invasion of Ukraine.
Israel should never have been allowed to participate in this competition or to present itself as a normal state while exterminating Palestinians and stealing their land. However, since the European Broadcasting Union took the shameful decision to allow Israel’s participation, Malta now has the opportunity to take a stand for justice and international law by joining Spain, Iceland, Slovenia, the Netherlands, and Ireland in withdrawing from this compromised competition.
It is not too late for Malta to stand for justice. Withdrawing from the Eurovision would represent a principled stand against the normalisation of genocide and in favour of freedom, dignity, and self-determination.
On Saturday, 21 February, we will march in Valletta to send a clear message to the Government: we refuse to be complicit in genocide. We want to be able to say, with pride, that Malta stood on the right side of history.

Qegħdin insejħu protesta nazzjonali nhar is-Sibt, 21 ta’ Frar, fit-3.00pm, li tibda minn quddiem il-Parlament fil-Belt Valletta.
Artisti, għaqdiet, komunitajiet u membri tal-pubbliku se jingħaqdu f’mixja biex jitolbu li Malta tirtira mill-Eurovision 2026 sakemm l-istat ġenoċidali tal-Iżrael jitħalla jipparteċipa.
L-imġiba ta’ Iżrael hija ta’ theddida għall-umanità kollha. Il-ġenoċidju kontinwu tiegħu f’Gaża qatel aktar minn 70,000 Palestinjan, il-maġġoranza tagħhom tfal, u qered it-territorju kważi kompletament. Dan il-ġenoċidju qed jitwettaq wara għexieren ta’ snin ta’ okkupazzjoni illegali, politiki ta’ apartheid, espansjoni tas-settlers, u ħtif, tkeċċija u esproprjazzjoni tal-massa tal-poplu Palestinjan. L-Iżrael bħalissa qed jestendi wkoll l-okkupazzjoni kolonjali tiegħu fil-Libanu u fis-Sirja.
Il-qasam tal-arti u l-kultura – u l-Eurovision b’mod partikolari – ma jeżistix separatament minn dawn ir-realtajiet. Pjattaformi kulturali jintużaw mill-Iżrael biex jaħsel ir-reputazzjoni mdemmija tiegħu. Is-sena l-oħra, f’nofs il-ġenoċidju f’Gaża, ix-xandar Iżraeljan alloka baġit rekord għall-parteċipazzjoni tiegħu fl-Eurovision. B’kuntrast, ir-Russja ġiet eskluża immedjatament mill-Eurovision wara l-invażjoni tagħha tal-Ukrajna.
L-Iżrael qatt ma kellu jitħalla jipparteċipa f’din il-kompetizzjoni jew jitħalla jippreżenta ruħu bħala stat normali waqt li qed jeqred lill-Palestinjani u jisraq l-art tagħhom. Madankollu, peress li l-EBU ħadet id-deċiżjoni tal-mistħija li tippermetti l-parteċipazzjoni tal-Iżrael, Malta issa għandha l-opportunità li tieħu pożizzjoni favur il-ġustizzja u d-dritt internazzjonali billi tingħaqad ma’ Spanja, l-Iżlanda, is-Slovenja, l-Olanda u l-Irlanda fl-irtirar minn din il-kompetizzjoni kompromessa.
Għadu mhux tard wisq biex Malta tieħu pożizzjoni favur il-ġustizzja. L-irtirar mill-Eurovision ikun att ta’ prinċipju kontra n-normalizzazzjoni tal-ġenoċidju u favur il-libertà, id-dinjità u l-awtodeterminazzjoni.
Nhar is-Sibt, 21 ta’ Frar, se nimxu fil-Belt Valletta biex nibagħtu messaġġ ċar lill-Gvern: nirrifjutaw li nkunu kompliċi fil-ġenoċidju. Irridu nkunu nistgħu ngħidu, kburin, li Malta kienet fuq in-naħa tas-sewwa tal-istorja.
Appoġġ jista’ jingħata permezz tas-sit www.maltanomusicforgenocide.org jew billi jintbagħat email fuq info@maltanomusicforgenocide.org.

Il-Marċ ta' Jum il-Mara 2026: Jum il-Mara Kuljum!
2026-03-08 15:00 - 17:00 | Triton Fountain, Vjal Nelson, Valletta, Malta
Join us on the 8th of March in our fight for solidarity, liberation, and equality. This International Women’s Day we are marching the streets of Valletta to raise our voices and demand dignity and justice for all women, non-binary, and trans folk.
The first Women’s March in 1909 grew out of the labour movement as women marched for shorter working hours, better pay and the right to vote. While International Women’s Day celebrates how far women’s rights and gender equality have come, it is critical to highlight the erasure of women’s rights across the world, as well as the effects of gender violence and abuse.
In the past years, women around the globe, including in Iran, Palestine, Afghanistan and Sudan, have been fighting for their rights amongst war and violence. 1 out of 3 women in the EU aged 18-74 have experienced physical or sexual violence. And women in Malta are still denied their reproductive autonomy due to the criminalisation of abortion.
Women face struggles every day, which is why this year our theme is “Women’s day every day”.
Whilst women continue to fight for what they deserve, we will keep advocating for policies and legislations that help women, we will keep calling out sexist and abusive behaviour, and we will not stop being loud until every woman is free.
The Women’s March will start at Triton Fountain in Floriana at 15:00 and will finish at St. George’s square with speeches, and live music.
Let’s voice our anger against the injustices that we face on a daily basis.
Let’s march together as one voice, as sisters united in our struggle for change.
******
Ingħaqdu magħna fit-8 ta’ Marzu fil-ġlieda tagħna għas-solidarjetà, il-libertà u l-ugwaljanza. F’dan il-Jum Internazzjonali tan-Nisa, se nimxu fit-toroq tal-Belt Valletta biex ngħollu leħinna u nitolbu dinjità u ġustizzja għan-nisa kollha, persuni non-binary u trans.
L-ewwel marċ ta’ Jum il-Mara fl-1909 ħareġ mill-moviment tal-ħaddiema, meta n-nisa ħarġu fit-toroq biex jitolbu sigħat tax-xogħol iqsar, paga aħjar u d-dritt tal-vot. Filwaqt li l-Jum Internazzjonali tan-Nisa jiċċelebra l-avvanzi fid-drittijiet tan-nisa u l-ugwaljanza bejn is-sessi, huwa kruċjali li nkomplu nenfasizzaw it-tnaqqir tad-drittijiet tan-nisa madwar id-dinja, kif ukoll l-effetti tal-vjolenza u l-abbuż ibbażati fuq il-ġeneru.
Fl-aħħar snin, nisa madwar id-dinja — inkluż fl-Iran, fil-Palestina, fl-Afganistan u fis-Sudan — ilhom jiġġieldu għad-drittijiet tagħhom qalb gwerer u vjolenza. Mara waħda minn kull tlieta fl-UE, bejn it-18 u l-74 sena, esperjenzat xi forma ta’ vjolenza fiżika jew sesswali. U n-nisa f’Malta għadhom miċħuda mill-awtonomija riproduttiva tagħhom minħabba l-kriminalizzazzjoni tal-abort.
In-nisa jaffaċċjaw sfidi kuljum, u għalhekk it-tema ta’ din is-sena hija “Jum il-Mara Kuljum”
In-nisa se jkomplu jiġġieldu għal dak li jistħoqqilhom. Aħna se nkomplu ninsistu għal politiki u liġijiet li jappoġġjaw lin-nisa, se nkomplu nikkundannaw imġieba sessista u abbużiva, u mhux se nieqfu nsemmgħu leħinna sakemm kull mara tkun ħielsa.
Il-Marċ se jibda mill-Funtana tat-Tritoni fil-Furjana fit-15:00 u jintemm fi Pjazza San Ġorġ b’diskorsi u mużika live.
Ejjew ngħollu leħinna kontra l-inġustizzji li naffaċċjaw ta’ kuljum.
Ejjew nimxu flimkien, b’vuċi waħda, bħal aħwa magħqudin fil-ġlieda tagħna għall-bidla ta’ veru.

Ġustizzja Għal Artna: Ir-Riformi li Neħtieġu
2026-04-11 10:30 - 11:30 | Castille Square, VGW6+88F, Valletta, Malta
Il-kampanja favur Ġustizzja għal Artna se tkompli, u mill-ġdid qed nitolbu l-appoġġ sħiħ tagħkom.
Nhar is-Sibt, 11 ta’ April, se nniedu Ġustizzja għal Artna: Ir-Riformi li Neħtieġu. Filwaqt li se ntennu t-talba tagħna sabiex jiġu rtirati ż-żewġ abbozzi tal-liġi u t-tliet avviżi legali li ressaq il-Gvern, se nippreżentaw ukoll il-proposti tagħna għal riforma fl-ippjanar ta’ veru, imsejsa fuq l-interessi ta’ pajjiżna u mhux l-interessi tal-iżviluppaturi.
Ilna snin twal nitolbu b’mod urġenti riforma fl-ippjanar li tindirizza l-ħerba li għandna fl-ippjanar, fl-ambjent u fil-kwalità tal-ħajja tagħna – minn bini bl-addoċċ sa kummerċ bla rażan, assalt fuq il-biedja, u qerda tal-ambjent naturali.
Għalhekk, meta f’Lulju li għadda l-Gvern ippreżenta l-hekk imsejħa riforma fl-ippjanar, li fil-fatt kienet lista tax-xewqat tal-iżviluppaturi, ir-rabja ta’ ħafna nies kellha żewġ aspetti: dawn il-liġijiet mhux biss kienu se jżarmaw il-protezzjoni li għad fadal mir-regħba tal-ftit, imma kienu wkoll opportunità mitlufa biex isiru r-riformi li veru neħtieġu.
Ingħaqdu magħna għal konferenza stampa nhar is-Sibt, 11 ta’ April, fl-10.30am, quddiem Kastilja, sabiex nuru li l-poplu jrid riforma li tħares il-ġid komuni. Se nippreżentaw erba’ proposti fl-oqsma ta’: l-appelli fl-ippjanar, l-infurzar, is-sanzjonar fl-ODZ, u l-klassifikazzjoni ta’ art bħala ODZ.
Narawkom.
www.gustizzjartna.org
The campaign in favor of justice for our land will continue, and once again we are asking for your full support.
On Saturday, 11 April, we will launch Ġustizzja għal Artna: The Reforms We Need. While we will reiterate our call for the withdrawal of the two bills and the three legal notices put forward by the Government, we will also present our proposals for genuine planning reform, based on the interests of our country rather than those of developers.
For many years, we have been urgently calling for planning reform that addresses the mess we are facing in planning, the environment, and our quality of life — from unbridled construction to unrestrained commercial activity, attacks on agriculture, and the destruction of the natural environment.
Therefore, when last July the Government presented the so-called planning reform, which in reality was a developers’ wish list, many people’s anger had two dimensions: these laws would not only dismantle what little protection remains from the greed of a few, but they also represented a missed opportunity to implement the reforms we truly need.
Join us for a Press Conference on Saturday, 11 April, at 10:30am, in front of Castille, to show that the people want reforms for the common good. We will present four proposals in the areas of: planning appeals, enforcement, sanctioning in ODZ areas, and the classification of land as ODZ.
See you there.

Film Screening: The Teacher Who Promised the Sea
2026-04-17 19:00 - 22:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us for the screening of The Teacher Who Promised the Sea, to remember the Second Spanish Republic.
The Teacher Who Promised the Sea (Spanish: El maestro que prometió el mar) is a 2023 Spanish historical drama film directed by Patricia Font. It tells the story of Catalan teacher Antoni Benaiges, who in 1935 is sent to a small village in the province of Burgos, where he introduces an innovative and inspiring teaching method. Antoni is a man who supports the revolutionary changes that the Second Republic was trying to implement in society.
The film also follows a present-day story: Ariadna, who seeks to find out what happened to her great-grandfather, who disappeared during the war.
El Día de la II República (Day of the Second Spanish Republic) takes place every year on the 14th of April. On that day in 1931, following democratic elections and the abdication and exile of King Alfonso XIII, the Second Republic was declared.
It was a democratic period. In just a few years, significant social and economic changes were implemented, such as granting women the right to vote, improving the education system, supporting cultural and scientific endeavours, challenging the privileges of the Church, and promoting a plurinational state, among others. This period was abruptly interrupted by a coup d’état in 1936, which triggered a three-year civil war, leaving more than 500,000 people dead and resulting in a fascist dictatorship that lasted 38 years.
Before the screening, Kor ReSister and AMU (Antifascist Musical Union) will sing a few songs related to the Spanish Second Republic.
Free entrance. Please note that there are stairs to access the venue.

Join us for our queer film screening of the month – leading up to Lesbian Visibility Day, we’re happy to be screening the first feature film directed by a black lesbian artist.
Cheryl Dunye, who wrote, directed and edited the movie, also plays the role of Cheryl, a young woman working a day job in a video store while trying to make a film about Fae Richards, a Black actress from the 1930s known for playing the stereotypical “mammy” roles to which Black actresses were relegated during the period.

Antifascist Bingo, Music, and Dinner
2026-04-25 17:00 - 20:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us on the occasion of Italian Liberation Day from Nazi-fascist occupation.
We will start at 5pm with two rounds of antifascist bingo. Through numbers, we will remember historical antifascist and resistance facts.
Afterwards, the public is invited to listen or join the Kor Re-Sisters as they sing resistance songs.
From 8pm, we will share a vegetarian dinner together (more details to come).
On 25 April 1945, the liberation of Italy from Nazi-fascist occupation was declared, thanks to the resistance of various antifascist forces and the armed partisan movement.
Today, more than ever, our world is being threatened again by the far-right and recent fascist movements. But, as Chumbawamba sing, “we’ll never rest again, until every fascist dies!”
There is renewed hope in Italy after the younger generation stood together to vote no in the last referendum, defending democracy, justice, and the antifascist constitution.
Sing along with us, stay for our antifascist bingo and dinner!
Bingo and music are free. Please note that the venue is only accessible by stairs.
