Yes! For Poland (Polish: Tak! Dla Polski [ˈtak ˈdla ˈpɔl.ski]; T!DPL), officially called Association "Local Governments for Poland" (Polish: Stowarzyszenie „Samorządy dla Polski” ) is a Polish association and a local government movement founded on 31 August 2020 in Gdańsk. It is the largest association of local government activists in Poland. Founded by officials of over 300 local governments in Poland, the party advocates for decentralisation of power, democratisation of the Polish school system, environmentalism, renewal and decentralisation of the health service and creation of an expansive development fund for local and regional projects. T!DPL believes that a powerful local government is the foundation of sound democracy and declared that "only a Poland built from the bottom up, from the most basic foundation which is the gmina, will be a strong, independent, secure and democratic European country". The movement especially focuses on empowering and representing small gminas and villages, considered underrepresented under the current Polish system.

The party is heavily critical of the government led by Law and Justice, accusing it of undermining local governments, recentralisation of Poland and undermining institutions of Polish Democracy. T!DPL is heavily aligned with the opposition parties such as Civic Platform, Polish People's Party and The Left and maintained its intention to cooperate with these parties and to avoid vote splitting. In May 2022, the party announced formal cooperation with the main four opposition parties - Civic Platform, PSL, The Left and Poland 2050; the leaders of the four opposition parties signed a declaration prepared by the Yes! For Poland, pledging decentralisation and strengthening local autonomies, providing local governments with more funding and creating a special fund for small municipalities. The party joined the Senate Pact with these parties, and announced its 6 main goals which include "democratic schools", "green local governments", "decentralised healthcare", "Local Poland Development Fund", "self-governing communities" and "stable budgets".
