Solidarity is when two or more people are jointly responsible for something, like a debt. It's a legal term that means they are all equally responsible for paying back the debt.
For example, if three friends take out a loan together, they have a solidary obligation to pay back the entire loan. If one friend can't pay their share, the other two friends are still responsible for paying back the full amount.
Another example is when a group of workers go on strike together to demand better working conditions. They are showing solidarity with each other by standing together and supporting each other's cause.
In both examples, solidarity means that everyone involved is working together and taking responsibility for the outcome.
