Solidarity Session: Building Together

Join the San Diego Solidarity Network (SDSN) for our final in-person gathering of the year at Woo Studios! in Barrio Logan. This convening will feature a panel-style conversation with movement leaders, organizers, visionaries, and healers who will share what solidarity has looked like in their work and lived experiences. Together, we’ll reflect on how we can continue to learn, practice, and embody solidarity across our region.

This conversation will ground us in the core aims of the San Diego Solidarity Network:

1. Securing rapid and sustained investments from government and philanthropy to stabilize and strengthen frontline and community-rooted organizations.
2. Build collective power and infrastructure that center racial justice, cultural wisdom, and grassroots leadership in public decision-making and funding systems.
3. Establishing and supporting community-led and shared leadership ways of working to equitably distribute monetary and non-monetary resources.

Over the past year, SDSN has made powerful strides toward these goals — collectively advocating for emergency funding commitments, deepening relationships across individuals and organizations, and modeling solidarity-centered practices that prioritize healing, collaboration, and equity. Our growing network continues to demonstrate the strength and creativity of San Diego’s grassroots efforts when we resource and act like our futures are tied.
