The Solidarity Monument (Polish: Pomnik „Solidarności”) is a memorial in Warsaw, Poland, placed at the intersection of Świętokrzyska and Kopernika Streets, within the North Downtown neighbourhood. It is dedicated to Solidarity trade union, which throughout the 1980s, was a broad anti-authoritarian social movement, using methods of civil resistance to advance the causes of workers' rights and social change, which eventually led to the agreement with the government for the 1989 parliamentary election, the country's first pluralistic election since 1947. The sculpture consists of its large metal logo, cutting through a long concrete block, which incorporates into its structural fragments of the Berlin Wall. The monument was unvailed on 4 June 2021, on the 32th anniversary of the 1989 election.
