Dawn, officially Dawn – The Organization of Justice, Fairness and Democracy (

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."^[4]

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. ^[5]

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.^[6]

The political program of the party was published as its general "core strategy" on 18 March 2012. It comprises the following six points:^[7]

• The abolition of indexation for consumer loans, including mortgages, as well as the implementation of a comprehensive mortgage correction initiative.
• Ratification of the new constitution, formulated by the
  constitutional assembly appointed by the parliament in 2011.^[8]
• Restructuring of the management of natural resources and fisheries, incorporating sustainable limits on the exploitation of these resources, along with the public ownership of the power company.
• Establishment of enhanced regulations governing codes of conduct and surveillance programs, accompanied by stricter legal penalties for violations of these regulations.
• Appointment of a special prosecutor tasked with investigating all cases associated with the 2008–2011 Icelandic financial crisis, and the initiation of a thorough public inquiry into the roles played by established political parties during the crisis. It shall be ensured that all Icelandic citizens have the right to refer a case to the special prosecutor, regardless of their personal income or background.
• Conclusion of negotiations with the European Union prior to the adoption of the newly proposed constitution, followed by a referendum on the negotiated policy. In the event that negotiations cannot be finalized before the adoption of the new constitution and the public decides to terminate them through a referendum, there shall be no reopening of said negotiations.
