The Action Lab, Make the Road States, United We Dream and CASA are launching a Solidarity Pledge. 

Graphic shows raised hands of different skin tones beneath the text “Solidarity Pledge.”

Across the country, communities are bracing for a period of intensified challenges—and also profound opportunities to organize, build power, and defend one another. This moment calls for clarity, courage, and connection.

The Solidarity Pledge is bringing people together to prepare for what’s ahead. By joining, thousands across the country are committing to stay informed, get trained, and take collective action as threats escalate against families, children, immigrant youth, and workers.

We know our power lies in community. We know our strength comes from being strategic, nimble, and deeply rooted in solidarity. And we know that millions of people are ready to step up when given a pathway to do so.

How to Get Involved

A Call to Action

As we mark the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we ground ourselves in his reminder:
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”

This work is a continuation of that legacy. We refuse silence in the face of injustice. Together, we will be the light—organizing, defending our neighbors, and building the world we deserve.
