Left Together (Polish: Lewica Razem [lɛˈvi.t͡sa ˈra.zɛm]) is a social democratic political party in Poland.
It was formed in 2015 as Together (Polish: Razem [ˈra.zɛm]), and it was one of the eight nationwide committees standing in the 2015 parliamentary election. It was a member of the Progressive International and DiEM25. As of 2022, it is headed by a co-leadership consisting of Adrian Zandberg and Magdalena Biejat.[5] It supports principles of social democracy,[6][7] democratic socialism,[1] and social liberalism,[8] and has expressed progressive views.[9] The party has been described as anti-communist and is critical of the historical post-communist Democratic Left Alliance.[10]

In Polen ist es stattdessen zu einer interessanten, beispiellosen Verbindung dreier Parteien gekommen, die als mitte-links einzuordnen sind: Der SLD, der Lewica Razem (Linke Gemeinsam) und der Wiosna (Frühling) von Robert Biedroń (Anmerkung: Polnischer Politiker und Publizist, der seine eigene Partei gegründet hat).
[In Poland, instead, an interesting, unprecedented alliance has emerged between three parties that can be classified as centre-left: the SLD, the Lewica Razem (Left Together) and the Wiosna (Spring) of Robert Biedroń (note: Polish politician and publicist who founded his own party).] - Skrzypek, Ania (10 November 2023).

New Left (common list of Nowa Lewica and Razem) ran a very intense campaign and focused on traditional centre-left issues (public policies, housing etc.), but still emerged from the vote weakened and went from 49 to 26 seats (7 of which are taken by Razem).
