dbo:abstract
  • The Leap Manifesto is a Canadian political manifesto that was issued by a coalition of environmentalists, Indigenous, labour, and faith leaders, authors, and artists in September 2015 in the context of that year's Canadian federal election campaign. The document proposes broad changes to Canadian society and economics to respond to climate change through a policy framework that also addresses issues of wealth and income inequality, racism, and colonialism. The Leap Manifesto launched with the backing of approximately 100 prominent signatories and attracted more than 10,000 signatures the day of its release. Polling indicated that a majority of supporters of most major political parties supported the principles of the manifesto. However, the manifesto was largely downplayed by those parties, although it did cause significant turmoil within the New Democratic Party when it was adopted for riding-level debate in 2016. The organizers behind the manifesto launched an organization to promote the manifesto's vision in 2017, called The Leap, which operated until 2021 and was a key convenor of Canada's Pact for a Green New Deal in 2019.
