WHAT IS THE BLACK MONDAY

Black Monday - it is the day, when polish women and men take day off at work by any possible legal form and go to the streets on a warning strike.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE STRIKE

Recently there came out the project of the law statute about abortion. It will change that it will be totally illegal in Poland, regardless of the situation, the state of health of the child or the mother, and criminal circumstances of conception. It will be a crime. That's it. Also any situation of miscarriage will causes an invastigation, whether was accidental, or intentional. And polish people (mostly women) decided to say NO to that. I think it's kind of obvious.

WHAT DO WE DO TODAY

In each major Polish city people hit the streets to show their objection to the new abortion statute project. The support to the case was showed in most of big aglomerations around the Europe. The day was cold and rainy, but people came anyway armed with umbrellas. I hope that polish goverment noticed it and will take into account the voice of the people. Finally...

"The Nation shall exercise such power directly or through their representatives."
Constitution of Poland, Chapter I, Article 4, Subsection 2

People all over the world, regardless of gender, age, race, sexual preference, religion ... FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO DECIDE ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR LIFE. Even if it will not change anything too fast... it still can affect reality for next generations to come. It is worth a try.
