You’re invited to join us for the 5th Annual Basic Income Day of Action and March on September 21st @ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. After a 2021 March and Rally, a 2022 Petition Delivery, this year, we want to lean into education and leverage the powerful tools of culture change we already have in our community!
Films have been an amazing resource for movements to start conversations, change hearts and minds, and connect everyday people to a movement and the ideas behind them. Help us to fight for an economy that works for all of us.
The world needs guaranteed basic income, let’s spread the word and grow the movement.
