Black Justice Poland

Who are We?

BJP is a Black-led foundation advancing the rights, dignity, and wellbeing of Black, African, and Afro-descendant communities in Poland. We build solidarity and belonging through advocacy, community care, and direct support in housing, health, education, and material aid.

What we do

We support the process of settling in Poland

Our Direct Support Team works to ensure access to legal advice, safe housing, healthcare, education and other basic services in Poland, as well as material aid for those in need.

We develop innovative educational programs that encourage critical reflection about race, racial trauma, and racial justice in the Polish context. We advocate for our communities among the general public and relevant stakeholders.

Our philosophy and approach

We strive to enact Black liberation not only as a vision of the future but as a daily practice in our work.

We follow the ideals of intersectional feminism and seek to work collectively with like-minded movements and allies.

We center Black women and LGBTQ+ communities in our work for Black liberation.

We recognize the diversity of Black communities in Poland and seek to lift each other up collectively.

Support us with a donation

Much of our ongoing work is possible thanks to financial donations from individuals, which can range from several Polish złoty to several hundred Polish złoty. It all adds up and makes a significant difference. For example, our Direct Support Team is on call every day of the week to provide aid to those in need. Our Scholarship Program takes place annually and the more funds we collect the more meaningfully we can support future Black scholars and professionals in Poland.
