Charity Versus Solidarity: What’s the Difference and Why Does it Matter? (2008 Presentation)
This is a portion of a larger speech, delivered at an event for service providers and community members, sponsored by the Milwaukee YWCA in 2008. In this segment, I discuss the difference between models of social service provision that are rooted in notions of “charity for” those in need, versus models rooted in “solidarity with” those in need, and why these differences matter.
