The MayDay Movement, a Canadian not-for-profit, seeks to rejuvenate the Liberal Party by increasing youth participation and driving a progressive policy agenda. Formed due to low youth voter turnout, the movement combats this through online events and social media engagement. Key priorities include:
- Attending the 2023 National Biennial Convention and reviving Liberal campus clubs.
- Registering as a Third Party to support the Liberal Party's campaign in the next federal election.
- Fundraising for travel and accommodation subsidies for young convention delegates.
Already proposed and upcoming Policy Resolutions by the MayDay Movement include:
- Improving access to homeownership and affordable housing.
- Modernizing and expanding education and business-oriented immigration programs.
- Enhancing access to post-secondary education for disadvantaged and remote communities.
- Setting green targets, such as electric vehicles, high-speed trains, and oil sands process water purification.
- Securing online voting in federal elections and providing high-speed internet for rural and remote communities.
- Advocating for fiscal responsibility, balanced budgets, and a debt-to-GDP ratio of less than 50%.
- Investing in online virtual diagnosis and care technology and introducing an Excess Benefit Tax Exemption.
- Encouraging the modernization and updating of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms before its 50th anniversary.
