Solidarity (Portuguese: Solidariedade, pronounced [solidaɾieˈdadʒi]) is a Brazilian social-democratic political party that uses the TSE number 77.[5] The party elected 13 deputies and one senator in the 2018 Brazilian general election.

In the 2022 Brazilian general election, Solidarity supported the pre-candidacy of Lula da Silva in the 2022 Brazilian general election under the alliance Let's go together for Brazil. It remains allied with the Workers Party & other coalition members.

Following the elections, the party announced plans to merge with the Republican Party of the Social Order.[6] The Superior Electoral Court approved the merger on February 14, 2023.[7]
