The Maidan People's Union (Ukrainian: Народне об'єднання "Майдан", romanized: Narodne obiednannya "Maidan") was an alliance in Ukraine formed by several political parties and non-partisan individuals and public organizations on the fifth Sunday (22 December 2013) of the Euromaidan-protests with the aim of "building a new Ukraine and a new Ukrainian government" by creating a new Ukrainian constitution, and removing corrupt judges and prosecutors. It also aimed to organize opposition to the former regime led by the now disposed president Viktor Yanukovych and to coordinate a protest movement in all regions of the country. In practice this means broadening support for the goals of the organization in the pro-government and pro-presidential heartland East Ukraine.
During Euromaidan, the organization aimed to recruit millions of Ukrainians as members. According to co-head of the organization Arseniy Yatsenyuk, "it will be a little bit like the Solidarity movement in Poland".
