Solidarity

a word we often hear and think we know the meaning of, but then never actually truely define.

solidarity: union or fellowship arising from common responsibilities and interests; sympathies among members of a group

It's like going on a missions trip to another country where they have a Domino's pizza. Solidarity means not eating at that Domino's because the people you are helping can't afford to eat there. Or not going to the mainstream beach in Hati because the people of Hati can't go to the beach.

or even something as simple as wearing your glasses instead of contacts because your best friend has an eye infection and has to wear her glasses for the next seven days.

hello marroon red glasses! solidarity sister :)
