For Freire, solidarity as an act of support is driven by people starting from different philosophical starting points and using different paths. The common characteristic in all cases is the support for the oppressed in everything they need - both "in the glass of water" and in the political struggle against the violation of their rights, against exploitation, discrimination, racism, and social exclusion. In this sense, this act of solidarity can function as a cohesive fabric among people who have different views on a range of other issues. This belief, which characterizes his life and permeates his entire work, is perhaps the most important message of this book to those who are fighting for a truly humane society.
