Join the Movement for Universal Basic Income

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is an innovative approach to ensure everyone's financial security. By offering an unconditional cash payment to cover basic living expenses, UBI aims to eradicate poverty, create a universal safety net, and empower individuals with the freedom to pursue personal aspirations. The concept of UBI challenges traditional welfare systems, which often come with strict eligibility criteria and bureaucratic hurdles. Instead, UBI provides a streamlined and dignified way of supporting individuals, regardless of their employment status or socioeconomic background. This unconditional support can alleviate the stress and uncertainty associated with financial instability, allowing people to focus on their well-being, education, and personal growth.

The idea of UBI has a long history, but it is gaining new momentum in the 21st century as we grapple with rising inequality, job losses from automation, and economic disruption. Recent polls show that 48% of people now support UBI. Pilot programs and experiments with UBI-like policies have shown promising results, from the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend to trials in Finland, Canada, Kenya, and Stockton, California. As more leaders recognize the potential of this bold idea, the movement for UBI as a tool for poverty alleviation and social justice continues to grow. This revolutionary policy underscores the importance of a guaranteed economic foundation, enabling a society where economic barriers do not hinder people's ability to dream and achieve. With UBI, individuals would have the security to take risks, explore new opportunities, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
