What does it truly mean to stand, sit, live in solidarity with someone? A question that haunts and halts my/our existence. That someone you may never meet, and maybe your meeting is not as important as the experience of a shared humanity?
The dictionary defines solidarity as a ‘community of responsibilities, feelings’. Today 1.1 billion people don’t have access to clean drinking water! Do we or will we share this responsiblity or allow ourselves to ‘feel’ the thirst and draining disease that these unknown to us wake to? Maybe solidarity is a communal act of love birthed through diverse individuals who take on the intense ‘feelings/responsibility’ of another? Maybe its more complex, or way to simple, either way may we all risk a life of solidarity today and tomorrow.
