Following the outbreak of the Black Lives Matter protests in the US in 2020, a protest was organized in front of the US embassy in Warsaw on 6 June 2020 under the slogan, "United Against Racism in Warsaw – Solidarity with the US Anti-Racist Protest Movement." The protest also highlighted issues of racism in Poland, sparking a debate over long held, casually racist views and vocabulary that Polish people of color no longer were willing to tolerate.
On 20 March 2021, a demonstration was organized for UN Anti-Racism Day. Activists formed a human chain from the offices of the European Commission and EU information center to the nearby headquarters of state television TVP. Each person held a card describing a recently documented racist or xenophobic attack in Poland.
A demonstration in remembrance of Maxwell Itoya, an immigrant from Nigeria who was shot and killed by police in 2010, was held on 23 May 2021, at the sight of his murder near Warsaw's national stadium. The police officer who fired the shot was never convicted and the prosecution dismissed the case, despite documented allegations of racially motivated aggression towards the immigrant shopkeepers near the stadium by the police.
On 18 of March 2023, another demonstration was organized for UN Anti-Racism Day, highlighting the racial character of the Polish government's anti-humanitarian refugee pushback policies on the Polish-Belarusian border.
