Mike B writes "Moviment Graffitti - What is it?

Moviment Graffitti is active against oppression and exploitation of people, environment and animals; with a vision of freedom and radical democracy.

Moviment Graffitti's activism consists primarily of two strategies:

Direct Action. Moviment Graffitti is active in various areas such such as social justice and protection of the environment. This includes the years-long activism in local community struggles such as the Front Against the Hilton, Front Against the Golf Course and Save Kalkara Valley Front. This also activities for the emancipation of the working class (such as participation in demonstrations by progressive trade unions); peace and neutrality (such as activities against the visit of warships); civil rights (such as divorce and anti-sexism); human rights (such as the rights of asylum seekers); and animal rights (such as anti-furcoat protests). Moviment Graffitti has organised various activities that were concurrently taking place around the world. These include Workers' Day, Peace Marches, the World Anti McDonalds Day, as well as various activities against capitalist globalisation and in favour of global social justice.
>Ideological Action. Moviment Graffitti considers ideology as having a vital role in order that leftitst and progressive visions may be proposed within social formations. Through public statements, articles, the publication of 'Graffitti' pamphlet as well as other methods of public relations, Moviment Graffitti expresses its ideology. Moviment Graffitti organises and also participates in seminars, discussions and civil society meetings. The Movement also organises cultural activities such as music, exhbitions, films and theatre.
Moviment Graffitti is autonomous from any political, economic and social force and practices radical democracy within its structures. It believes in the role of progressive alliances in order that the left may be strengthened.

Moviment Graffitti's structures include the weekly meeting for members within which decisions are taken; the University and Junior College Branch (FUJC); and the organisation of subcommittees in line with the Movement's requirements. Decisions are taken in a democratic manner among members who attend meetings. All members can propose issues for inclusion within the meetings' agenda. No leader exists within the Movment, and all members are volunteers.
