About the Grid

SolidarityGrid exists because the world needs more steady hands than it needs sirens. This is a place for the long arguments and the longer work: the case for democratic socialism, the power of organized labor, the commons we already own in common, and the possibility that a freer world can be built without burning the neighborhood down.

We believe in peaceful collective flourishing — the kind that happens when neighbors show up for each other, when workers win a contract and then hold the line for the next crew, when a city decides that water is not a product but a birthright.

What We Publish

• Dispatches — analysis and reporting on labor, the economy, public power, and the movements building what comes next.
• The Tracker — a living ledger of strikes, union votes, mutual aid, and policy wins, with the numbers that matter.
• Solidarity metrics — every dispatch that can carry one does: who is covered, what was won, what is still open.
• The Commons Floor — a comment section for signed-in readers. Sign in with your Google account and add a few honest words — no separate membership, no password to keep.

What We Don't Do

• No advertising.
• No paywalls, no metered gates, no "subscriber-only" common ground.
• No ads on the site, no cross-site fingerprinting by us, no selling of attention. (The one Google Ads conversion tag we run measures our own paid campaigns — see the privacy page.)
• No clickbait. If a headline cannot stand behind the article, it does not go up.

How We're Run

The site is independent and reader-owned in spirit: it runs on a small, transparent stack (PHP, SQLite, no framework), keeps the bare minimum of data, and is maintained by people who think a publication should be a public utility. The code is a craft; the content is the work; the readers are the point.
