The Solidarity Index is a podcast and live event project that inspires radical conversations, connections, and action.
Anchored by host Zahyr Lauren, aka The Artist L. Haz, The Solidarity Index is a gathering place for trailblazing artists and grassroots leaders to share experiences of solidarity and liberation through creative practice, and to welcome us all into freedom struggles – from Palestine to Puerto Rico, Standing Rock to Sudan, Berlin to Brooklyn and beyond.
Created by and centering women, queer, trans, and gender-expansive artists, activists, media makers, and educators, The Solidarity Index is guided by the truth that no one of us can be free until everybody is free.
The Solidarity Index explores the question:
What does solidarity sound, look, and feel like – in action?
