The Solidarity Diagnostic™

Solidarity is not an identity. It is a set of practices. This free interactive tool helps you see where you actually are — across time, quality of connection, and risk — so you can make intentional decisions about where you want to go.

The Solidarity Diagnostic™ is a free interactive reflection tool created by Dr. Durryle Brooks to help people examine how solidarity shows up in practice. It invites you to assess relationships across dimensions such as time, quality of connection, reciprocity, and risk so you can identify where solidarity is deep, where it is thin, and what greater alignment might require.

Designed for movement leaders, organizers, nonprofit staff, educators, coalitions, and anyone working across difference, the diagnostic can be used individually or as a conversation starter within teams and communities.

The tool builds on Dr. Brooks’s framework for understanding seven types of solidarity, helping users move beyond symbolic or transactional forms of connection toward more reciprocal, relational, and liberatory practice
