About Us

Our Goal

Build a decentralized infrastructure for civic participation and community that will catalyze sustainable, coordinated, visible, and replicable acts of principled resistance to authoritarianism and abuse of immigrant families, and bring people into long-term organizing formations.

What Solidarity Means to Us

Solidarity is a great word to describe and capture many aspects of what we are trying to say and do at this moment. To be in solidarity is to act as if what happens to you happens to me. It is an expression of shared stake and shared fates. And that is exactly what is true right now.

The far right might try to convince you that punching down or left is a way to advance your own standing, but we know better. The same violence they enact on our immigrant neighbors will come for us.

The rights they are blatantly disregarding of the most vulnerable people are the same rights they are disregarding for senators, mayors, teachers, and nurses too. We are all in this together and we need to act like it.

Solidarity is not just an idea, it's an action. You have to be in solidarity to enact it, and that's exactly what we need. This is a moment for courageous action. We must be in motion to challenge the unrelenting actions of the regime.

Our Historical Foundation

Solidarity also has deep roots in the history of struggle in this country and around the world. The Labor movement has long enshrined the words "Solidarity forever" as the song of workers' struggle against exploitation.

For decades, there have been movements of solidarity with the people of Latin America who have experienced American abuse abroad. We intentionally invoke the history and spirit of those movements as we fight for freedom at home.

The Story We Tell

We must establish a common sense that attacks on immigrants are merely the first step of rapidly expanding authoritarian over-reach and a deliberate power grab by the Trump regime. The new common sense is: It's up to us as Americans to come together - in a historic demonstration of solidarity regardless of status - in order to intervene and prevent dangerous precedent setting that paves the way for a potentially irreversible consolidation of illegal power.

We must make a direct link between the moral depravity of the regime's agenda, the righteousness of our own, and the clear overreach of the regime politically.

Our Symbol: The Flower Held High

A flower held high is an image of hope and beauty; things we see in our communities everyday. The flower is a gift from the earth, an expression of the fundamental truth that there is enough for us. To hold it up high is to declare that we too have a bounty to share.A flower is a universal symbol - recognized in every community as something to treasure and respect and cultivate.

It is also an image of courage in the face of violence and brutality. Whether it be the white rose of resistance to the Nazis, or the peace flowers placed in the barrel of a gun, flowers have long been a symbol of non-violent resistance to oppression and terror at the hands of authoritarians.

It is a powerful act to stand courageously with a flower in your hand while masked ICE agents wield assault rifles. The image speaks for itself and tells the story we want to tell. It presents a clear dilemma for our opponents - who wants to be on the side of brutality and violence against flowers? When enough people have taken to the streets with flowers in their hands, or hang them from the doors of their classrooms, home windows, or university gates, they will become a symbol of collective power and resistance.
