Solidarity is an attitude, a mindset, a lifestyle. If I call myself a solidary person, then I have to have solidarity incorporated in my everyday life.
Solidarity for me it is a mixture of compassion, inclusion, kindness put in action. Solidarity has to be put in action. It doesn't have to be a big action, sometimes a small action can be an act of solidarity: sometimes listening carefully to someone can be an act of solidarity.

Solidarity sometimes means that you have to challenge stereotypes – to not to believe them, to stand up against them.
Solidarity is teaching our hearts, our souls how to love, how to be compassionate. To how to love those who are hard to love. To how be compassionate with whom is hard to be compassionate with.
