BIEN Congress 5: Conference dinner in Brisbane the night before the Congress (Sunday night) with the Local organize committee, plus me, Scott Santens, Jessie Golem, Hyosang Ahn, & a few other UBI supporters ...

Thank you to Jessie Golem of humans of basic income for talking to me about the Ontario Basic Income Pilot (OBIP) that was cancelled by Doug Ford’s government even though they had promised to keep it. For Jessie and many others, the pilot was a financial lifeline. #BasicIncome

Canadian MP Leah ProudLakota (she/her) introducing bill c233: a national guaranteed liveable basic income, open to 18+ y/o inclusive of non-citizens without work requirements. "We can't afford not to implement UBI, poverty is expensive". #bien2022 #UBI #BasicIncome

Janell Dymus says Basic Income recognises people where they are in life, be it mountaintops, valleys or trenches. Basic Income recognises people's right to look after themselves. #UBI #BasicIncome #bien2022

BIEN Congress 66: Participants in UBI experiments are telling their stories. Jessie Golem is giving a powerful emotional account of her experience in the Ontario project (the one that was cancelled 1/3 of the way through). "It was random. And now you're stuck with me."

BIEN Congress 67: "This is more than utopia for me. This is life or death." -Jessie Golem

“My rent would be covered no matter what I did and I was crying with relief” - Jessie Golem on the dramatic impact of the Ontario Basic Income Pilot #BasicIncome #UBI #BIEN2022

BIEN Congress 69: My reactions to Jessie Golem's speech: "Amandla! Awethu!" "Chuchy ar la!"

Incredible to hear stories of people whose lives monumentally changed when they were pulled out of poverty with unconditional payments, and the heartache of being plunged back into poverty at the whim of government. Poverty is a choice made by governments not by people. #BIEN2022

Jessie Golem shares her powerful story being a lottery winner in the 2017-2018 Ontario Basic Income Pilot. She was able to start and grow a business and pay rent. #UBI #BasicIncome #bien2022
