The American Solidarity Party (ASP) is a Christian democratic political party in the United States.[4][5][8] It was founded in 2011 and officially incorporated in 2016. The party has a Solidarity National Committee (SNC) and has numerous active state and local chapters.[8][9] Brian Carroll was the party's nominee in the 2020 presidential election.

The American Solidarity Party has been characterized as socially conservative while supporting government intervention in economic matters.[10] The ASP encourages social development along the lines of subsidiarity and sphere sovereignty, with a stated emphasis on "the importance of strong families, local communities, and voluntary associations".[11] It favors fiscally progressive policies[12][8][13] and a social market economy with a distributist character,[14][15] that seeks "widespread economic participation and ownership"[15] and providing a social safety net program.

Names and symbols

The party's original name was inspired by its European counterparts, the Polish trade union Solidarity,[16] and the current one reflects its more developed ideology and focus in the years since.[8]

The ASP mascot is the pelican, a traditional symbol of charity.[17] The party's political color is orange, like other Christian-democratic political parties.

On social media, ASP members use the orange heart emoji to denote their "whole-life ethic" and Christian democratic influences.

Members of the American Solidarity Party use the demonym 'Solidarist' to refer to themselves.[18]

History

Members gathered for the 2017 ASP Midwestern Regional Meeting

The ASP was founded in 2011 as the Christian Democratic Party USA (CDPUSA).[8] In 2012, the CDPUSA endorsed the independent candidacy of Joe Schriner for president.[19] In December 2020, the American Solidarity Party joined the board of the Coalition for Free and Open Elections (COFOE).[20]

Ideology

The American Solidarity Party largely adheres to the ideology of Christian democracy, which has been influenced by Catholic social teaching, Neo-Calvinist theology and the social teachings espoused by other traditions of Christianity in various parts of the world.[3][21][22][4][5] As such, the ASP looks to the Christian democratic movements in Europe and the Americas.[23]

The American Solidarity Party has been characterized as conservative on social issues while supporting government intervention in economic matters, making it communitarian.[10][24]

Political issues

Social issues

The American Solidarity Party opposes abortion, euthanasia, and capital punishment on the basis of the sanctity of human life. It views the traditional, heterosexual family as being central to society.[13]

The American Solidarity Party advocates for a sympathetic approach to immigration. They believe in balancing the need for secure borders with a commitment to human dignity. This involves addressing the root causes of migration, such as the impact of the country's military, political, and economic power abroad.[13]

Economic issues

The American Solidarity Party supports a universal healthcare system as well as an economy containing widespread distribution of productive property, in particular increased worker ownership and management of their production.[25][26][27]

Foreign policy issues

The American Solidarity Party is non-interventionist in its foreign policy, using peace as its guiding principle. It supports foreign aid and nonviolent diplomacy, while opposing violent military action as a means to resolve conflicts.[13]

Electoral reform

The American Solidarity Party advocates for electoral reform, aiming to combat what they call a "political oligarchy" and gridlock. They propose proportional representation for the House of Representatives, endorse ranked-choice voting or approval voting in all elections, and support easy voter registration. The party also emphasizes fair access for independent candidates, access to impartial information, and pilot programs for electronic voting with consideration for security concerns.[13]

Influences

Daniel Silliman writes that the American Solidarity Party, as with other Christian-democratic political parties, draws from Catholic social teaching and Neo-Calvinist theology.[3] In the same vein, David McPherson says that the American Solidarity Party "affirm[s] ... the full spectrum of Catholic social teaching (namely, the teachings regarding the sanctity of human life, the common good, subsidiarity, religious freedom, solidarity, etc.)," contrasting the ASP to both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, each of which recognizes only some of these items.[28] Its strongest support is in California and Texas, according to the Madera Tribune (of Madera, California).[23]
