Day of Solidarity with Poland was a special day declared by the administration of American President Ronald Reagan in support of the democratic opposition in Poland.
The day was set for January 30, 1982, as a response to the introduction of martial law in Poland on December 13, 1981.[1] On that day, demonstrations were held all over the world in defense of the outlawed Solidarity movement.[2] The next day, January 31, 1982, television stations in many countries, as well as the radio stations Voice of America, Radio Liberty and Radio France Internationale broadcast a joint program entitled Let Poland be Poland.[3]
