Join us for our upcoming Webinar: From Charity to Solidarity
Reframing How We Share Power
This interactive webinar examines the differences between charity and solidarity, naming how transactional help can hoard power, moralize need, and reinforce dependency. Through guided dialogue, storytelling, and the “near enemies” framework, we’ll surface moments where good intentions reproduce harm and map real examples of solidarity as a practice that shares power and strengthens agency. Participants will leave with clearer language, concrete indicators of solidarity, and steps to begin shifting their own work.
What you’ll do and learn:
- Define charity versus solidarity and understand their different impacts on power, dignity, and agency
- Use the near‑enemies lens to spot where charity and solidarity overlap and where they diverge
- Share and analyze real stories of receiving and giving charity and solidarity to identify practical markers of solidarity in action
- Identify immediate changes you can make in programs, partnerships, and everyday interactions to move toward solidarity
Sign up to attend. Available in-person at Metro Caring or on Zoom.
