The Citizens' Movement for Democratic Action (Polish: Ruch Obywatelski Akcja Demokratyczna, ROAD) was a political faction in Poland coalescing the liberal wing of Solidarity movement after its entry into the Sejm in the 1989 parliamentary election. Its competition with the conservative wing of Solidarity represented by the Centre Agreement culminated in ROAD's defeat in the 1990 presidential election and ultimate unification with the Forum of the Democratic Right into the Democratic Union.
