Solidarity is a revolutionary
What does Solidarity do?
socialist organization with members and
branches across the country.
Today, we are active in strengthening a working-
class fightback to the economic crisis, demanding
an end to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and
building the labor movement, struggles for self-
determination of people of color, women and
LGBTQ and the fight for environmental justice.
The socialist future that we fight for has
democratic, working–class power as its bedrock.
We emphasize the need for socialists to build
movements for their own sake. At the same time,
we hope to foster socialist consciousness through
linking isolated struggles, opposing the logic of
capitalism and making the case for revolutionary
organization.

A REVOLUTIONARY SOCIALIST, FEMINIST AND ANTI-RACIST ORGANIZATION
Solidarity is best known for our work in the
SOLIDARITY
labor movement but we are also active in
communities and on campuses. We see
the renewal of movements with working–
class leadership independent of the two
capitalist parties as the basis of a movement
for socialism. Along with branches, we have
national working groups that organize in
a particular movement, such as the labor
movement or the anti-war movement.
We promote a lively culture of discussion,
debate, and learning through regular
branch meetings, study groups, national
conferences and retreats organized
regionally or for specific activist and
political interests.
I want to join Solidarity!
Members are expected to have an activist
commitment and participate in the
organization – through joining a branch,
becoming active in a working group, and
paying monthly dues. If you don’t yet meet
these requirements you may also apply for
formal sympathizer status.
To join:

 what does solidarity stand for?
{ In our activism and in our organization, we are guided by the best of many traditions. }
AS FEMINISTS,
we are committed to all struggles against
gender oppression and recognize that “the
personal is political.” Revolutionary feminism
recognizes the diversity of women’s experiences
and connections with other liberation struggles.
We seek to overcome the counter-
productive divisions on the Left that
decrease our ability to win either
short term struggles or build the
revolutionary capacity of social
movements and the working class.
AS SOCIALISTS,
we fight for a revolutionary transformation of
society by and for the working-class majority. AS ANTI-RACISTS and
Change will not come from politicians, ANTI-IMPERIALISTS,
bureaucrats or charismatic leaders but from

movements in the US and abroad.
Women,
people of color, and other
oppressed people have the right to
self-organization in our organization and
society as a whole; this kind of autonomy
Democracy and balancing united
is essential for nurturing solidarity and
leadership by the oppressed. action with respect for minority points
of view are an important part of our
organization and, we believe, essential
to left unity.
We are guided by traditions of
“socialism from below” that project a
society that prioritizes human needs
and rejects the violence, hierarchy, and
profit-driven nature of today’s world.
