Since the beginning of this year, more than 100 Polish cities and voivodeships (provinces), led by far-right administrations, approved measures against the phantom “LGBTI ideology” or manifestly discriminatory acts that ratify “LGBT-free zones”. Il Grande Colibr\u00ec, with Associazione Radicale Certi Rights and All Out, in accord with Polish activists, wrote a letter to Italian mayors of municipalities and presidents of regions<\/strong> that ratified partnerships with the territories affected by this wave of hatred: these partnerships could be an opportunity for Italian political representatives to become human rights ambassadors.<\/p>\n

Our recommendations to mayors and presidents of regions need the support of the European public opinion: for this reason, Pulse of Europe, European Pride Organisers Association (EPOA) and four national LGBTQIA organizations (Atlas Nienawi\u015bci in Poland<\/a>; Certi Diritti and Il Grande Colibr\u00ec in Italy; LSVD in Germany) launched an international petition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      Raccomandazioni su come dimostrare solidariet\u00e0 e supporto alla comunit\u00e0 LGBT+ polacca:<\/p>\n

      1. Use your partnership for advocacy purposes:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Address the issue in your communication with your Polish counterparts. Ask them what motivated them to declare their city an \u201cLGBT-free zone\u201d. Share with them examples of how LGBT+ people are part of your local community and how your city supports them, e.g. during Pride month.<\/li>\n
      • If you are visiting your Polish twin city, try to organize meetings with local LGBT+ citizens or organizations and document them on social media or invite journalists to cover the exchange.<\/li>\n
      • If you are visiting Polish partners, organize interviews and media appearances addressing the issue and\/or come together with local LGBT+ organizations and activists.<\/li>\n
      • Invite Polish partners to events, interviews in your own city addressing the issue and\/or come together with local LGBT+ organizations and activists.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        2. Develop or use existing cultural and social exchange programs to support local LGBT+ activities and projects:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Encourage your Polish partner city to join a joint LGBT+ -related project with events in both cities, offering your help and (financial) assistance.<\/li>\n
        • Sponsor cultural exchanges (singers, artists, performances etc.) to visit queer events in your Polish partner city and vice versa.<\/li>\n
        • Organize a joint traveling exhibition with LGBT+ themes.<\/li>\n
        • Suggest and promote viewings of LGBT+ related movies from your country in your Polish partner city.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          3. Support LGBT+ and Pride events in your partner city: <\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Support and attend Pride events in your Polish partner city and encourage local Pride organizers in your city to join you.<\/li>\n
          • Plan official visits of representatives from your city to LGBT+ events (discussion rounds, cultural events, etc.).<\/li>\n
          • Invite your Polish counterparts to attend these events with you.<\/li>\n
          • Support artists, LGBT+ groups, performers, experts. etc. from your country in attending Polish Prides.<\/li>\n
          • Show support for LGBT+ projects and Pride marches in your partner city by sharing them on your social media channels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
