What Does Solidarity Require?

What does solidarity ask of us? And what does it make possible?In the newest episode of Becoming the Vision, we sit with a word that gets used often in movements for justice, philanthropy, and collective action—and ask what it means to actually practice it.Drawing on our recent experience at Collective Acceleration, a gathering held at the Detroit People's Food Co-op, and years of learning alongside leaders, organizers, elders, and communities in philanthropy, Detroit, and beyond, we explore the possibilities and difficulties of building across difference.The co-op itself offers a powerful example of what solidarity can make possible: a shared vision made tangible through years of collective effort. Gathering there gave us an opportunity to reflect on the relationships that sustain solidarity, the work it requires, and what can emerge when we come together despite our differences.Subscribe to our newsletter!
