"The idea first emerged in the legal books of the ancient Roman Empire. When people held a debt in common, they were said to hold it “in solidum.” In other words, the state of being on the hook as a group was the basis of solidarity. If one individual faltered, the group had to step up—meaning that its members would be either bailing one another out or defaulting together. Thus, from its genesis, solidarity had a financial component that raised the stakes. In this original formulation, solidarity is a common identity underpinned by collective indebtedness and obligation, shared responsibility and shared risk, a state of interdependence and mutual aid. Terms like “bonds” and “trust” and “mutual funds” are now used by bankers to describe financial structures and agreements; solidarity turns such notions around to strengthen the ties among a community of debtors instead of affirming a contract with a creditor.
"  -- Excerpt, Solidarity: The Past, Present and Future of a World-Changing Idea by Astra Taylor and Leah Hunt-Hendrix. 

Taylor and Hunt-Hendrix's book was an inspirational touchstone for the team behind Who Moves America. "Solidarity Forever" has been the slogan of the labor movement for a century. Wear it loud and say it proud. And check out the book for more about the history and future of solidarity.
