The RSS was founded on the basis of the Office for Social Justice (Polish: Kancelaria Sprawiedliwości Społecznej, KSS) run by Piotr Ikonowicz. Its platform prioritised abolition of the so-called junk contracts, improvement of the position of trade unions, and banning eviction "onto the street". The party would focus on social justice and support of the most underprivileged, especially the poor and the homeless.
