Organization

The leaders of the parties that make up the Solidarity Alliance form what is known as the Council of the Alliance. This Council serves as the primary decision-making authority of the Solidarity Alliance; all decisions at the national level must get support from three of the five leaders on the Council to pass. If other parties were to join the group, their leaders would be added to the council. If a party leader leaves their leadership position, they are replaced by their replacement within the party. These five leaders select a candidate for each election, but there is no single leader of the Council.

The local party structure of the Solidarity Alliance is somewhat similar to that of the Rally for Lecistani Sovereignty, with municipal groups reporting to regional conventions reporting to the Council of the Alliance. This allows concerns or ideas to rise from the local to national level. Membership in the party, or in any of its decision-making bodies, is not restricted based on ethnicity, religion, wealth, or gender. The organizations of the substituent parties themselves also play a role in campaigning for and supporting the Alliance.

Internal groups and affiliates

The Solidarity Alliance relies to an extent on the newspapers, student wings, youth wings, and structures of its substituent parties to get out the message and campaign. This is to preserve the independence of the constituent parties, and to allow for them to maintain their own unique organizations and platforms.

However, the Solidarity Alliance does also have its own party organizations. The Solidarity Alliance does have an official newspaper, known as Głos Lekkëbë, which translates to "the Voice of Lecistan". Głos Lekkëbë publishes information about the party's stances and both recent and upcoming party events, as well as major news stories with the official response of the Rally and an opinion column. Głos Lekkëbë also has its own website, in addition to recent articles being available on the Solidarity Alliance's official website. Głos Lekkëbë also works with the newspapers and newsletters of the individual parties to coordinate reporting on certain issues.

Solidarity also has a student wing, the Students for Solidarity, and a youth wing, the Youth for Solidarity. Youth for Solidarity was formed in order to rally support and allegiance for Rally campaigns from potential future members, also serving as a discussion forums for younger members and supporters of the organization to debate policy and ideology. Students for Solidarity serves a similar role, but focuses more on students who are young adults. Both are also seen as a potential training ground for future campaigners and leaders of the party. Members of the student wings and youth wings of constituent parties automatically become members of Youth for Solidarity and Students for Solidarity.
