Solidarity During Covid-19 Pandemic ( a Case Study on the Social Action of Yogyakarta Food Solidarity and the Interfaith Network for Covid-19 Response)

Abstract

Reality pandemic Covid-19 has a significant impact on the social, economic, political, and cultures around the world. Covid-19 which hit Indonesia has brought organic collective awareness from civilians through social movements. Initiatives from citizens to help one another are based on three things; the existence of a collective identity, a sense of injustice, and solidarity. This research focuses on two social movements initiated by ‘Solidaritas Pangan Jogja’ (SPJ) and ‘Jaringan Lintas Iman Tanggap Covid-19’ (JIC). The basic principles of mutual assistance, spontaneous collective awareness, and the same social needs form a pattern of solidarity and social movement in these two organizations. Therefore, this research focuses on the process of forming social awareness patterns that are manifested through collective behavior. This research uses a qualitative approach through case studies. Social solidarity and social movements are two concepts that are used as a basis for data analysis. There are two differences between the SPJ and JIC movement patterns. This research uses a qualitative approach through case studies. Social solidarity and social movements are two concepts that are used as a basis for data analysis. There are two differences between the SPJ and JIC movement patterns. The SPJ movement can be categorized as a conventional social movement with an orientation towards creating collective and cross-class social awareness. Whereas the JIC movement is a kind of new social movement which using the basics of the collectivity to understand norms and religious values. While the similarity of the two movements is always to prioritize the distribution of human values that are sustainable. The determining factor for the formation of a collective movement depends not only on the material resources available, but rather on the strength of ideas and cultural resources. That is about the articulation and collective construction of a new relationship (or redefinition) between the person as an individual and the person (as an ulama or cleric, citizen, and family). The SPJ movement carries the value of nativism while the JIC movement is a representation of the growth of new social movements that arise because of the spread of religious values in the social, cultural, economic, and political dimensions as citizens.Keywords: Pandemic Covid-19, Solidaritas Pangan Jogja (SPJ), Jaringan Lintas Iman Tanggap Covid-19 (JIC), Social Capital, Social Movement

Integrating socio-cultural value system into health services in response to Covid-19 patients’ self-isolation in Indonesia

“…Throughout the pandemic, the social bond is based on the sense of mutual aid for those in selfisolation with COVID-19, and is still potential, even showing an increasing tendency. Social solidarity, either organic or mechanical, is manifested in various actions of charity and volunteerism (Haryadi & Malitasari, 2020), either independently or collectively through community intermediaries, the COVID-19 Task Force, or the environment leader (head of neighbourhood unit [Rukun Tetangga/ RT] and Community Unit [Rukun Warga /RW]). Therefore, solidarity can be understood as the collective good of being bound together to help each other through what we perceive as a form of common interest (Tomasini, 2020: 235).…”

“…This is the social practice reproduced by an individual or group that could be a social capital in solving unexpected strategic problems that are greatly affected by the level of the social bond built (Giddens, 1984: 17). In Yogyakarta, on micro-scale, there is a social movement by the Jogja Food Solidarity (Solidaritas Pangan Jogja/ SPJ) and the COVID-19 Response Inter-Faith Network (Jaringan Lintas Iman Tanggap COVID-19/ JIC) that voluntarily helped people who are exposed to COVID-19 (Haryadi & Malitasari, 2020) In Semarang, a 'COVID-19 Shelter' gave free aid to those in self-isolation. In addition, some online applications such as # in Indonesia,#wargabantuwarga.com,etc. The concrete form of assistance given by the public, either individually or by the organisation, is mostly (62%) foods, drinks and fruits, while the next highest percentage is of medicine, vitamin, supplement, herbal medicine and the next are basic necessities and others.…”

Otonomi Kolektif dan Operasionalisasi Kesadaran Publik dalam Gerakan Solidaritas Pangan Jogja (SPJ)

“…Gerakan ini berakar dari semangat yang diinisiasi oleh Ita bersama kedua putrinya untuk memberikan bantuan kepada mereka yang tak berdaya di tengah pandemi Covid-19, khususnya kelompok rentan dan pekerja sektor informal. Selanjutnya SPJ membuka jaringan pekerja sosial lainnya, antara lain Lembaga Bantuan Hukum (LBH) Yogyakarta, Aliansi Jurnalis Independen (AJI) Yogyakarta, Wahana Lingkungan Hidup (Walhi) Yogyakarta, dan Social Movement Rusunawa Otonomi Kolektif dan Operasionalisasi Kesadaran Publik dalam Gerakan Solidaritas Pangan Jogja | Institute (SMI) yang mayoritas anggotanya adalah aktivis mahasiswa (Haryadi & Malitasari, 2020).…”

Religious Solidarity for Coping with Economic Crisis During the Covid-19 Pandemic

“…The same thing is also illustrated by Leap & Thomson (2018) and Anderson (2020) that mechanical solidarity gives rise to strength in dealing with difficult situations in society (Ritzer & Goodman, 2009). Second, solidarity is formed in inclusive social networking groups (Haryadi & Malitasari, 2020;(Irwan, M, Muljono, & Yonvitner, 2019;Yudina & Alekseenko, 2020). The three researchers indicate that social solidarity can be formed in social media or online communities.…”
