American political party
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]
Peter Sonski
is the party's nominee in the
2024 United States 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
[
edit
]
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
[
edit
]
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
[
edit
]
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
[
edit
]
Social issues
[
edit
]
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
[
edit
]
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
[
edit
]
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
[
edit
]
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
[
edit
]
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]

Christian Democracy is a political movement that first emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, influenced by Catholic social teaching starting with the papal encyclical Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII, and by the Neo-Calvinist worldview as heralded by the Dutch Prime Minister, Abraham Kuyper. The strength of this ecumenical collaboration led to Christian Democratic parties coming to power in various countries of Europe, as well as in Latin America, where they emphasized several unique concepts that promoted the common good. The American Solidarity Party (ASP) identifies itself as a Christian Democratic political party.

This is the Christian Democratic tradition and the structural pluralist concepts that underlie it. The Roman Catholic social teaching of subsidiarity and its related concepts, as well as the parallel neo-Calvinist concept of sphere sovereignty, play major roles in structural pluralist thought.
