Abstract
Building on Iris Marion Young's account of communicative democracy, this chapter explores how to foster relations of solidarity for the formation of heterogeneous publics and of a pluralistic democratic culture. Drawing lessons from feminist and queer activism, the essay elucidates how multiple publics can be mobilised to join struggles for justice, arguing for Young's social connection model of responsibility. The essay proposes the notion of chained action as a way of understanding shared (rather than merely collective) responsibility and community action in the struggle towards justice.
