Let’s recall that, caring for its employees, their families and the local community, Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa, through the JSW Foundation, has decided to launch a campaign under the name “STOP THE HATE! Don’t blacken the miners!” aimed at changing the society’s attitudes towards the inhabitants of Upper Silesia, especially miners. The campaign is supported by well known names from the world of sport, film, television and music associated with the region and the mining community, including, among others, radio and television presenter Mariusz Kałamaga, Justyna Święty-Ersetic, European 400m champion, actress Sonia Bohosiewicz, members of stand-up groups Kabaret Młodych Panów and Łowcy.B, music band Feel with its leader Piotr Kupicha, music trio Frele and the Polish national football team player, Jastrzębie-born Kamil Glik, who has become the face of the campaign. None of them charges any remuneration for participation in the campaign.
The initiative is a response to the negative emotions that appeared during the coronavirus pandemic and result from various factors, among others, concerns about the future and health of the closest ones.
