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.

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.
Politically, we would be considered center-right on social issues
opportunities for socially conservative, economically progressive movements, and desired to get involved in such movements…and was glad to see that ASP was interested in applying such ways of thinking to contemporary issues.

We believe in the economic concept of distributism as taught by GK Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc.
