The Solidarity Is This Podcast

The Solidarity Is This Podcast explores the principles of transformative solidarity and provides examples of what solidarity looks like in action.

In each episode, you’ll hear from activists, artists, faith leaders, and organizers throughout our social change ecosystem who are working for equity, justice, and liberation. Providing a glimpse into the many faces of transformative solidarity, we hope this podcast will give you inspiration, ideas, and support for your own journey with solidarity practice.

2024 marks the 8th year of the Solidarity Is This podcast, which receives over 500 downloads per episode. The podcast features movement leaders, authors, and organizers who are experimenting with solidarity in action. Now anchored at the Building Movement Project, the podcast is a helpful resource for individuals and organizations eager to learn about solidarity narratives, tools, and practices.

Solidarity. It’s become a buzzword. But what is solidarity? And how do we go about practicing solidarity, as activists, as organizations, as people who care deeply about building inclusive schools, campuses, workplaces and neighborhoods?
