It is among the most progressive villages in Southern Poland as it recognizes same-sex marriages and is also among the most racially diverse villages with a significant refugee population. A notable former resident includes human rights activist Jakub "Kuba" Tchorzewski who has organized numerous marches and protests across Europe and the US.
