One of the most promising approaches to unravelling the relationship between the optical and radio emission in AGN is to obtain nearly simultaneous optical and VLBI polarization data. We have obtained such data for five AGN (0735+178, OJ287, 1219+285, 3C 279, and BL Lac). These data suggest that there is a direct link between the optical and radio polarized emission, and that frequently the optical polarization of AGN is associated with the emergence of new VLBI components.
