Building on an emergent literature on everyday and affective practices of solidarity, this chapter offers a set of diverse ethnographic accounts of activist work oriented to recognizing and challenging inequalities and relations of oppression based on race, ethnicity, religion, and class, alongside gender and sexuality. Engaging a variety of material from feminist and LGBTI+ activisms, the chapter highlights ambivalences inscribed in the making of collective resilience, resistance, and repair by: First, problematizing activist efforts to build solidarity across geographic and contextual divides; second, highlighting the importance of solidarity as shared labor in challenging state actors and institutions and reversing colonial processes; and third, unpacking the implications of transnational solidarity campaigns in different locales. The chapter ends with reflections on how feminist scholarship can advance conceptualizations of solidarity across difference.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAffective solidarityCoalition-buildingCommunity-buildingFeminist and LGBTI+ activismSolidarity across differenceSolidarity as shared laborTransnational solidarityLife-span and Life-course StudiesGender StudiesSocial Sciences (miscellaneous)Sociology and Political ScienceBook chapterhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85143803031&partnerID=8YFLogxKÇağatay, S, Liinason, M & Sasunkevich, O 2022, Solidarities Across : Borders, Belongings, Movements. in Thinking Gender in Transnational Times.
