Solidarity among movement organizations bolsters collective strength.

"We are going to need a new kind of solidarity and commitment to stand with and for each other.” —  scenario exercise participant

Solidarity is a structure for power-sharing — a commitment between two people to each use their resources to act on each other’s interests. As such, it requires a relationship of real assurance to be able to share resources and power over time. It must be our practice in the face of opportunity as well as attack.

While we have exercised strong solidarity with vulnerable communities in politically hostile environments in the past, we must double down for their safety; address the interconnectedness of the attacks; build public awareness, support, and advocacy to counteract regressive policies; and build community solidarity and resilience.
