For over twenty years in Silesia the propaganda and organizational campaigns under the banner of autonomy have been intensified. Admittedly, the influences of such organizations as the Silesian Autonomy Movement (Ruch Autonomii Śląska) or Association of People of the Silesian Nationality (Związek Ludności Narodowości Śląskiej) are small, but the idea of the autonomy of Silesia wins more and more followers. The increasing number of participants of various campaigns, public gatherings, marches organized by these associations have all proved it. The leader of the Silesian Autonomy Movement (Ruch Autonomii Śląska) puts a strategy into action entitled “Autonomy 2020” which, among other things, strives to create League of Regions in Poland organizing in Poznan in 2012 a conference for the followers of autonomy, and a demonstration - the March of Regions - in Warsaw in 2015. Then, their referendum campaigns will start. They are supposed to focus on both constitutional amendments and coming into effect of the Organic Silesian Province Status in 2020 which will define the principles of autonomy.
