The Solidarity Party was an American political party in the state of Illinois. It was named after Lech Wałęsa’s Solidarity movement in Poland which was widely-admired in Illinois at the time (Illinois has a very large Polish American population especially around Chicago).The party was founded in 1986 by Senator Adlai Stevenson III in reaction to the Democratic Party’s nomination of two followers of Lyndon LaRouche in the race for high state offices.
