释义 |
Ideals and objectivesMoviment Graffitti stands for social justice, equality and sustainability. This entails supporting and lobbying for fairer workers’ rights such as an increase in the minimum wage and working towards a new and equal economic system in which exploitation has no place. This includes standing against the destruction of the environment, illegal developments and the privatisation of public spaces. Moviment Graffitti stands for the well-being of all humanity and thus, for the right of migration for all and against a world with man-made borders. An important part of standing for a more just world is actively working to eradicate racism and xenophobia by organising actions and information campaigns as well as pushing for migrants’ rights. One campaign that the movement feels strongly about is showing international solidarity with the plight of Palestinians by raising awareness of the cruel and constant injustice and discrimination they face everyday at the hands of the Israeli state. How their goals are achievedMoviment Graffitti utilizes a number of strategies in its work. It has often taken a proactive role in forming coalitions and building networks that bring together different organisations and individuals to work as a common front on issues such as racism, destruction of natural landscape and animal rights. It has regularly supported workers’ struggles and voiced its stance in favour of workers’ rights. Moviment Graffitti frequently holds awareness-raising campaigns where it distributes information and engages in discussions in public spaces and other venues such as University, schools and youth centres. Direct actions are also used to draw the public's attention to specific issues. These consist in activities like banner-drops and sit-ins. Moviment Graffitti has also coordinated several protests in relation to pressing issues being faced at a particular point in time, such as war, racist incidents and projects damaging the environment. Decisions within the movement are taken during regular meetings where anyone who shares the organisation's vision and principles can attend and contribute. Moviment Graffitti's activities are self-funded by the organisation through membership-payment and fund-raising events held throughout the year. Campaigns
