What's Universal Basic Income? Is it good or bad for the US #economy? Join us this FRIDAY, Nov. 1, at 6:00 pm CT, as the Council welcomes Natalie Foster and Ameya Pawar 🎗️ for an in-depth discussion with @CouncilYP in #Chicago. Register today: bit.ly/2VK8iyA




Dana from Ontario's pilot told of the power of #BasicIncome particularly as a community-wide change: "finally I am human again" - people looked healthier, more confident, more engaged. Impact was greatest for disabled people. Michael Pugh "It's the stories that make the change"

Interesting conclusion michaelpugh UBI Lab Sheffield. Have to think about that more as Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 #FreedomDividend and Economic Security Project view of guaranteed #basicincome. Both automation & poverty narratives are at play in current US debate.

.Michael Pugh discusses 3 narratives we see from automation/tech & Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 #FreedomDividend; Michael Tubbs approach eradicating poverty in Stockton, CA; and Dr. Evelyn Forget's studies of mental health benefits in Ontario, Can. UBI Lab Sheffield Lessons Learned #basicincome

.Michael Pugh said, "Data can only go so far. What is the role of [#basicincome] pilots?" 1) Shifting narrative like @aisha_nyandoro Mother Magnolia Trust in Jackson, MS. 2) Telling stories of feeling human again, Ont. Can. 3) Preparing the political ground. UBI Lab Sheffield

Thank you to Michael Pugh & to UBI Lab Sheffield for bringing the lesson learns from our North American #basicincome pilots to the UK. As Michael said, there is power in organizing--let's make #universabasicincome available for all!

Ameya Pawar 🎗️ moderates a conversation with @aisha_nyandoro from the Magnolia Mother’s Trust and Economic Security for Illinois Economic Security Project about the racial wealth gap and how she changed lives by giving mothers the cash they needed to pivot out of poverty in Jackson, MS.


Thank you The Chicago Community Trust for hosting @aisha_nyandoro Ameya Pawar 🎗️ this afternoon to have the tough conversations about how we can really help people experiencing economic insecurity.


Thank you to Economic Security Project & The Chicago Community Trust for inviting us to the lunch and learn w/ @aisha_nyandoro's #basicincome pilot, #MothersMagnoliaTrust. Here's the video shown about the mothers receiving $1K/month. #universalbasicincome #guaranteedincome youtu.be/zG4nQW7Zwig

.@aisha_nyandoro shares, "all the data talks about the benefits" of a #universalbasicincome & it's really a systemic failing to persons in poverty. She challenged our leaders to be "bolder" and "courageous". "More of us should be bothered". #MothersMagnoliaTrust Economic Security Project
