POMOC is a grassroots nonprofit that fosters creative collaboration and actionable solidarity between Polish women living in the UK and other migrant communities to work together towards dignity, power and justice. We build spaces for actionable solidarity between our communities and other migrant groups, while creating opportunities for anyone - at any stage of their organising journey - to develop their creative leadership and put it into action locally. While POMOC’s organising base is Polish women, our work reaches beyond our community, and we look for ways to support other Eastern Europeans and migrants.
Our core work covers three overlapping areas:
* Direct Support: we provide multilingual support to Polish, Romanian, and Roma communities in the UK on how to apply for 'settled' and 'pre-settled' status. We are also developing the Community Toolkit project, which provides support on how to access welfare, housing, and mental health services.
*Democratic Participation: we run civic engagement and “get out the vote” campaigns to spur democratic participation in the Polish diaspora and build connections with other communities. These campaigns focus on UK local elections, EU Parliamentary elections, and Polish elections. Moreover, these campaigns have become a tool for base-building, identifying up and coming leaders, and tackling broader issues of political marginalisation and voter suppression.
*Political Education: we design political education programming that builds progressive leadership among Polish and East-European women and nonbinary people while addressing head-on systemic issues like racism, anti-blackness and homophobia.
