Draw the Line: A Cross Sector Day of Action We Can Learn From

On September 20th, over twenty thousand people across Canada showed up to the multi-issue day of action called Draw the Line.  

When people raise their voices together, they change the political landscape, and Draw the Line showed just how strong that collective voice can be.

Organizations from our community, like 350.org, Migrant Rights Network,  Greenpeace Canada, and Leadnow, were on the frontlines, and we are proud to support them.

Standing With Our Community

At New/Mode, we don’t just provide digital tools. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the organizers who use them. We celebrate their wins, learn from their strategies, and commit to powering their momentum.

The line is drawn. The future of movement-building in Canada has never looked stronger.

Here is what we know:

• Movements are stronger together. When organizations unite, their voices amplify, and decision-makers can’t ignore them. Check out this webinar to explore more ways you can build power.

Tips and Tricks From the Frontlines.

Watching our community in action also gives us practical insights that any campaign can use:

• Keep actions shareable and straightforward. Quick digital actions, such as sending a letter to the Editor, signing a petition, sending an email, or making a small donation, lower barriers and bring more people in.
  
  
• Pair online and offline. The most significant impact happens when digital tools amplify street actions and direct pressure on decision-makers.
  
  
• Tell a bigger story. Campaigns that connect climate, democracy, and justice bring more communities together and build lasting power.
  
  
• Follow up fast. Momentum doesn’t stop on the day of action. The most effective campaigns send immediate follow-ups to keep supporters engaged.
