Florida Atlantic University, “An inside look into Solidarity, a socialist-anarchist student organization at FAU”

By Sage West, October 14, 2024

Room 113 of Florida Atlantic University’s education building is home to more than just college courses. By day, it is your traditional classroom, but every Tuesday night from 6 to 8 p.m., it becomes Solidarity meeting grounds.

Solidarity is a self-proclaimed “socialist and anarchist organization” at FAU that meets weekly to engage in group discussion and political activism. According to the organization’s Instagram, Solidarity aims to “build socialism and anarchy through direct action, mutual aid and education at FAU.”

“Socialism is the establishment of an economy that is based on cooperative ownership and need-driven, rather than private ownership and profit-driven, and anarchy is the abolition of power and people’s domination over people and the planet,” Ximena Dipietro, former Solidarity co-delegate said.
