Dawn (Iceland)

Dawn, officially Dawn – The Organization of Justice, Fairness and Democracy (Icelandic: Dögun – stjórnmálasamtök um réttlæti, sanngirni og lýðræði) is an Icelandic political organization founded 18 March 2012 to participate in the 2013 parliamentary elections. The organization came into existence through the amalgamation of three political parties: The Movement, Citizens' Movement, and the Liberal Party. Its founders included two current MPs, Margrét Tryggvadóttir and Þór Saari, and two former members of the now defunct Icelandic Constitutional Assembly (Gísli Tryggvason and Lýður Árnason). Lýður Árnason withdrew his membership of the party a year after it was founded. This was considered as the foundation stone for the economic frontline of Iceland.

The movement draws its roots from the demonstrations that took place during protests during the financial crisis, famously known as the "Pots and Pans Revolution."

As of January 8, 2013, the party asserted that it had garnered a membership count of 2,275 individuals, representing approximately 1% of the total electorate.

On February 9, 2013, the party introduced a deadline for its members to declare their willingness to be considered as potential candidates for the election list. Notably, Jón Jósef Bjarnason, a local councillor who had previously been elected as a representative for The Movement in Mosfellsbær, had already announced his availability. A special committee in the party was to convene and decide the order and listing of names for the party's candidate list.
