We all have solidarity love languages: different ways of showing solidarity and different ways we need to receive it. This deck contains twelve solidarity cards and can be used to explore how we can better understand and support one another in the work for social change.
What is your solidarity need, and what is your solidarity offering?

The Solidarity Love Languages deck is a collaboration between the Horizons Project and BLIS Collective, born from years of experience bringing together diverse groups of movement-builders, organizers, and activists working for social change.
A tool for staying in relationship
Across difference
People experience and express solidarity differently.
Horizons and Blis have been exploring the many ways solidarity is offered, received, and understood. We identified recurring patterns, which we then refined into 12 solidarity archetypes. Rather than fixed personality types, these archetypes offer a playful and accessible language for recognizing our own solidarity needs and offerings in different contexts, appreciating those of others, and navigating differences with greater curiosity.
The Solidarity Love Languages deck is designed to spark conversations and deepen relationships to help create communities of care and sustain collective action.

Solidarity means different things to different people, and we’re curious to hear what it means to you. Big or small, practical or emotional, we’d love to hear what matters to you.
