Some of Our Recent Work
Past Project
Youth Perspectives Survey Project
New Majority is continuing to lead a nationwide effort to survey young people.
The data from this survey is used to shape our messaging and priorities, as well as to ensure that our voter activation work is as effective as possible.
To date, we have had more than 300,000+ face to face conversations with youth across Canada.
Past project
Manitoba Provincial Election 2023
We were on the ground in Manitoba for the 2023 Provincial Election to get Gen Z & Millennials excited about voting!
Young voters were ready to destroy the myth that young people don’t vote and our canvassing team personally walked 516 young voters directly to polling stations, during this Manitoba sprint.
We continue strengthening democratic action by encouraging participation from first-time voters during provincial elections and as we witnessed in Manitoba, these human connections allowed our intersectional teams to cut through the noise and connect directly with youth who aren’t typically engaged in the democratic process.
