Why are the Harper Conservatives rushing to pass their elections act? Simple, they’re rushing because they want it to impact the next federal election.[1]
Now, with your help we can fight the US-style voter suppression measures in the proposed elections act - and look ahead by launching a massive people-powered campaign for the 2015 election and beyond.
If we start working together now, we’ll be able to help hold this government accountable at the ballot box and elect people with a strong mandate for action on democracy, climate, and inequality. More than that, we’ll be able to build a movement strong enough to push for real changes after the election.
But first, we need to Connect! Today we’re writing to show you our new video and invite you to Connect events happening in communities across the country from February 27 - March 9th. During Connect events, we’ll share this people-powered plan for the 2015 election and beyond, ask for your input, and introduce practical next steps.

We know that no single election can create an open democracy, build a fair economy and achieve climate justice - that will take a generation.
And that’s why we want to make this campaign different. Together, we can build a network of small teams in communities around the country who will make a difference in the next election, and lay a strong foundation to push for real changes after the election.
But first we need to connect - with each other, with the issues we care about, with our communities. During the events we'll share the plan, ask for your input to shape the campaign going forward, and introduce practical next steps.

P.S. Our priorities for action, and election plan have been developed from participatory processes with the Leadnow.ca community over the last two years, and there are still more questions to be answered. Most recently, hundreds participated in Our Moment, an interactive webcast that laid out the emerging plan for 2015 and asked for feedback on some of the key questions. Connect builds on Our Moment. We’ve listened to your feedback and are now ready to share the whole plan, including a riding strategy and next steps. Going forward, we’ll be asking for more of your feedback on some of the major remaining questions - like our process for making community endorsements.
