Rembertów Bezpośrednio

Rembertów Bezpośrednio (RB) is a civic association and local media brand operating in the Rembertów district of Warsaw, Poland. It began in 2012 as a blog founded by residents to provide an essential guide to the district, featuring over 100 local businesses, important articles, and local insights. In 2015, the initiative was officially registered as an association (stowarzyszenie rejestrowe). The association is led by a three-person board headed by Aleksander Lesiński. Since 2014, its members have held seats on the district council. RB engages in local politics at the municipal level, focusing on infrastructure and transport issues such as the construction of a tunnel connecting Marsa and Chruściela streets. It organizes charitable actions, sports and neighborhood events, fairs, and online activities, and publishes a periodical. Notable campaigns include the annual 'Pogotowie Świętego Mikołaja' (Santa's Emergency) since 2012, supporting around 200 children and seniors from the poorest families, and the 'rowerem Bezpośrednio' (formerly Rembertowska Masa Krytyczna) bicycle rally since 2013, which attracts up to 300 cyclists. In elections, RB has fielded candidates under the Komitet Wyborczy Rembertów Bezpośrednio, winning seats in 2014, 2018, and 2024. The brand combines hyperlocal journalism, community organizing, and political advocacy, making it a distinctive civic media entity in Warsaw.

Rembertów Bezpośrednio originated in 2012 as a blog created by residents of the Rembertów district in Warsaw, Poland. The blog aimed to serve as a guide to the district, highlighting local businesses and community issues. In 2015, the initiative was formally registered as an association (stowarzyszenie rejestrowe). The association is governed by a three-person board, with Aleksander Lesiński as its head. Since 2014, members of the association have been elected to the district council. In the 2014 local elections, the Komitet Wyborczy Rembertów Bezpośrednio received 855 votes (9.4%), winning one seat, taken by Paweł Prusakiewicz. In 2018, the committee won 2,527 votes (21.08%) and four seats in the district council; it also ran in the Warsaw city council elections as part of the KWW Miasto Jest Nasze – Ruchy Miejskie coalition, receiving 5,927 votes (5.77%) but no seats. In 2022, Aleksander Lesiński became deputy mayor of Rembertów. In the 2024 elections, the committee won 19.63% of the vote and four seats. Lesiński resigned his seat to become deputy mayor again, and Adam Prasek took his place. The association engages in local politics, focusing on infrastructure and transport, such as the construction of a tunnel connecting Marsa and Chruściela streets. It also organizes charitable actions, sports and neighborhood events, fairs, and online activities, and publishes a periodical. Notable campaigns include the annual 'Pogotowie Świętego Mikołaja' since 2012, which supports around 200 children and seniors from the poorest families, and the 'rowerem Bezpośrednio' bicycle rally (formerly Rembertowska Masa Krytyczna) since 2013, which attracts up to 300 cyclists. The rally was renamed in 2024 with a new logo.
