Silesians Together (official name in Silesian-Polish mix: Ślonzoki Razem) is Silesian regionalist political party in Poland founded in August 2017 by Witold Berus, Andrzej Roczniok (Union of People of Silesian Nationality, formerly the Silesian Autonomy Movement) and Leon Swaczyna (formerly the Silesian Autonomy Movement). The party was founded with the idea of creating a Silesian party that would work with the German minority, a concept that originated in 2014.[2]

The party is not officially in favor of Silesian independence. It believes that the pre-war autonomy of the Silesian Voivodeship should be restored. However, politicians of Silesians Together does not exclude the support of the project of the independent Silesian state in the event that this project is supported by the majority of Silesians.[3] Silesians Together is considered the most secessionist party in Silesia, often stressing the separation of Silesian culture from Polish culture and emphasising the existence of a separate Silesian nation; many of the party's activists also hold separatist views.[6]
