Solidarity practices are often autonomous forms of organization that make collective existence possible under conditions of crisis, inequality, and exclusion. They are built through non-hierarchical, horizontal relationships and are based on the principles of care, reciprocity, and shared responsibility. Within feminist, queer, and postcolonial approaches, they center invisible labor and marginalized experiences. They emphasize viewing solidarity not only as a form of support, but also as a political intervention and a transformative practice.
