American Solidarity Party

The American Solidarity Party (ASP) is an American syncretic political party founded in 2011 and officially incorporated in 2016. It is a Christian democratic political party with center-left economic values and center-right social values. The party has a Solidarity National Committee (SNC) and has numerous active state and local chapters. The party adheres to a consistent life ethic, opposing abortion, surrogacy, IVF, euthanasia, assisted suicide, capital punishment, and unjust war. They support universal healthcare, immigration, and welfare.

The American Solidarity Party has been characterized as socially conservative while supporting government intervention in economic matters. 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". It favors fiscally progressive policies, as well as a social market economy with a distributist character, which seeks "widespread economic participation and ownership", and providing a social safety net program.

In the 2024 United States presidential election, it was on the ballot in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Ohio. Peter Sonski was the party's nominee in the 2024 United States presidential election.

The American Solidarity party was founded in 2011 as the Christian Democratic Party USA (CDPUSA) by founders David "Frost" Harris, Kirk Morrison, and Jack Quirk. The party's original name was inspired by its European counterparts, the Polish trade union known as Solidarity, and the current one reflects its more developed ideology and focus in the years since. The ASP mascot is the pelican, a traditional symbol of charity.

In 2012, the CDPUSA endorsed the independent candidacy of Joe Schriner for president.

In December 2020, the American Solidarity Party joined the board of the Coalition for Free and Open Elections (COFOE).

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. As such, the ASP looks to the Christian democratic movements in Europe and the Americas.

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