“I am now convinced that the simplest approach will prove to be the most effective — the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed measure: the guaranteed income.” -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?” (1967)

Many are unaware, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision for economic prosperity and eradicating poverty included a #guaranteedincome. MLK called for change (loudly) in 1967, yet our system remains largely unchanged. We have decades of research that it works - #basicincomenow #MLK

“It’s been a lifesaver.” - 1 of 128 HudsonUP Pilot participants speaks on the impact of receiving $500/month w/no strings attached. JAIN FAMILY INSTITUTE GHPN The Spark of Hudson #guaranteedincome #UBI #basicincome #universalbasicincome
