There is a dispute? They devise ways to solve them. An undocumented African friend needs to go to the doctor? They take him to a doctor they know who doesn’t require papers. Through the intertwined connections and friendships they developed, both within the neighborhood and in the city, they have been exercising what they call solidarity. Ahmet’s mother and father have been living in the neighborhood and in the city of Istanbul for a very long time. He means the other abis and ablas who come to their house in Tarlabaşı, the Istanbul neighborhood that I have been frequenting in an attempt to weave myself into a beautiful network of an everyday solidarity group.
