Domingo passado, no Largo da #Graça em #Lisboa, fomos centenas a festejar o poder do coletivo e a clamar por menos turismo e mais comunidade. Numa #ManiFESTA organizada por mais de 20 coletivos, cozinhámos juntas, cuidámos do espaço e celebrámos a cidade como a desejamos: com casas, ruas e praças cheias de vizinhas, de risos, de cantos, de aprendizagens - de vida
Gritámos
A cidade é nossa
Cantámos🎶
As casas aqui da Graça
Hão de ter gente outra vez
Vivendo as suas vidas
Sem mágoas ao fim do mês
Last Sunday, at the Largo da #Graça in #Lisbon, we were hundreds celebrating the power of the collective and calling for less tourism and more community. At a #ManiFESTA organised by over 20 collectives, we cooked, cared for the space and celebrated the city we wish for: with houses, streets and squares full of neighbours, laughter, songs, learnings - life
We shouted:
The city is ours
We sang 🎶
The houses of Graça
Will be full of people again
Living their lives
Without worries at month's end
The #Graça Quarters, a public asset under threat of being turned into a luxury hotel, has once again become a symbol of resistance.
We have shown that the city can be experienced in a fair, joyful and supportive way – and we invite everyone to continue to occupy it, defend it and reinvent it.
Down with the hotel in the quarters!
Long live the neighbourhood, the district, the communities and the right to housing!
✊🏽 Like the other 100 cities that took part in #HousingActionDays2026, we have called for homes to live in, community spaces and strong communities.
Neither speculation nor touristification will ruin our lives. On the contrary: we are organised to put an end to the deadly, unjust and anti-democratic political choices that are turning Lisbon into a theme park and an air corridor serving the interests of profit.
