What Is Your
Solidarity & Unity EQ?

Start with the free Solidarity & Unity EQ Assessment. It takes about five to ten minutes and it shows you where you fall on a six-stage continuum, names your primary Blocker Profile, and points you to a path forward.

More than a quiz. A barometer for your everyday justice practice.

The Solidarity and Unity EQ doesn’t measure what you believe, it measures how you show up, and grow, as an advocate for solidarity across difference. You’ll receive your Solidarity Stage, your Blocker Profile, and a path forward.

No shame, no blame. A great next step in your plans to combat, Fear, Frustration, and Fatigue when it comes to interracial solidarity, unity, and trust.

Six Stages. One Direction.

Solidarity is not a Gold Medal, it’s a function of trust and partnership that others experience from you, based on your consistent choices and actions. The Solidarity EQ helps you see where you sit on this continuum.

STAGE ONE

😶

Unengaged

Disengaged, unaware, or actively avoiding solidarity practice.

Taking visible action — using voice and platform with intention.

STAGE FOUR

Co-Conspirator

Risking comfort, access, and status in service of shared liberation.

STAGE FIVE

Genuine, mutual relationship beyond the work — birthdays, hard times, real life.

STAGE SIX

Deep, sustained solidarity. Conferred, never claimed. Built over time and trust.

What's Getting in the Way?

🧊

The Freeze

Avoidance, apathy, “I’m not political.” Disengagement framed as neutrality.

🛡️

The Shield

Fragility, defensiveness, centering your feelings in spaces not built for you.

🔁

The Performance Loop

Performative allyship, box-checking, virtue signaling without relationship.

⚖️

The Labor Imbalance

Extracting from BIPOC folks, outsourcing the learning, not doing your own work.

🏛️

The Monoculture Default

Treating one culture’s norms as neutral, universal, or “just how things are done.”
