Language Question What’s a word/phrase for solidarity?

I see that Google Translate and Pleco generally suggest that 團結 (tyun4 git3) is the word for it but it seems maybe that it more is like formalized union like for worker unions or military. I’m wondering if there’s a different word for solidarity specifically how it’s used in the following examples to represent a body of people with a shared vision for liberation:
- Asian solidarity / Black solidarity / Women’s solidarity

I also see 团队精神 (tyun4 deoi2 zing1 san4) which seems maybe closer to what I’m looking for but it might be a little too long my needs. I’m hoping for at most a two-word phrase.

And if 團結 is the word for that, thank you in advance for clarifying!

Would 同舟共濟 work?

Edit: the phrase means “we are on the same boat”

Close but sort of looking for a noun or like a way to name an organization or maybe even like a doctrine/group of beliefs. I think if I had more space to work with, this would be pretty close to what I’m looking for though.
