Dzień dobry, dear readers,

For eight years, we've lived under a government that's turned its back on human rights, the rule of law, and the climate crisis. As a member of the Polish parliament and the Polish Greens, Zieloni, I've been fighting from the front lines against the governing PiS party and their regressive politics.

This Sunday is a big day. It's when 30 million Polish voters decide what kind of Poland we want — one leaning towards an illiberal democracy, or one that stands proudly with Europe, creating a social and sustainable future.

This isn't some abstract debate for me. Whether it's the right to safe abortion, the purity of our rivers, the protection of our forests or the freedom of journalists, these issues touch me personally, as they do so many in Poland.

A win for the current government wouldn’t just be a loss for Poland; it would be a loss for Europe. It could divide the EU even more on critical issues like human rights, the rule of law and climate action. That's why we, the Polish Greens, have teamed up with the Civic Coalition.

We're not just fighting for a better Poland, but for a better Europe too.

I have dreams. Dreams of better healthcare, a fair transition to cleaner energy, functional bike lanes, and preserving our forests. These dreams aren't just for Wrocław, where I'm standing as a candidate this Sunday, or even just for Poland. They're for all of Europe. Because this isn't just a local fight; it's a European one.

We're doing our best to make these dreams a reality, but we can't do it alone. We need your help, whether you're in Poland or elsewhere in Europe.

Here are three things you can do today to support the Green cause in Poland and Europe:

– Mobilise all your Polish friends to vote in these crucial elections, no matter where they live in Europe.

– Follow Zieloni on social media and share their content (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter)!

– Join the European Greens as a volunteer for the 2024 European Election campaign.

Every bit helps. We're all in this together, and together, we can make a real change.

Best wishes,
