Thanks Boyce for capturing Ameya Pawar 🎗️, keynote at our Chicago #BasicIncomeMarch. Listening past the downpour, Ameya discusses instability from poor, working its way up to middle class and why America can afford a #universalbasicincome. youtu.be/1cC5uNTTRcg

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!

.@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

As a way to harness the community, @aisha_nyandoro offered storytelling as a way to "break down barriers" of "othering and deservedness" that stigmatizes those in poverty. If we're only hearing a "single story, we're missing out". #universalbasicincome #MagnoliaMothersTrust

The data exists amongst smaller North American #universalbasicincome pilots. It would be fantastic to get it enacted on a federal level. businessinsider.com/elizabeth-warr…
