It's true! Guaranteed income works.
"Not a single pilot has shown decreased employment among recipients of guaranteed income, and the vast majority of pilots have shown increased rates of full-time employment."
Key quote from this recent press release we discussed: "Not a single pilot has shown decreased employment among recipients of guaranteed income." This is after 20 completed studies by @mayorsforagi so far. See my pinned thread for even more UBI studies.

NEW: Data from @MayorCantrell & @CityOfNOLA’s #GuaranteedIncome pilot shows higher employment rates, improved financial well-being, and better housing security. The program focused on “opportunity youth” aged 16-24 in Orleans Parish.

Violence intervention programs like Safe Streets program are a necessity. The old system of locking people in cages and calling it justice has only produced pain, shame and more violence. Vote Yes for @SafeStreetsBalt on WBFF’s poll: foxbaltimore.com/vote

“'We don’t really do a good job at designing policies or doing things in times of crisis,' @MichaelDTubbs told CNN, saying it is urgent to start planning for guaranteed income programs before we see 40% of global jobs taken by AI."

"It was just a breath of fresh air. Like, OK, I can buy my kid a birthday gift, or I'll be OK getting tires. It doesn't matter your situation, you'll still be able to have those funds and help with whatever is needed."

I love you @lsarsour. With you then. With you now. For all of us who worked so hard on the original Women’s March, I’m proud of us. ❤️
“Russia’s troll factories and its military intelligence service put a sustained effort into discrediting the movement by circulating damning, often fabricated narratives around Ms. Sarsour, whose activism made her a lightning rod….” nytimes.com/2022/09/18/us/wo…

In 2017, 2018, and in a whole bigger way in 2019 - I tried to get people to ask the obvious:
Who was benefitting from the well funded, organized hate towards the Women's March and my dear friend leading it.
To no shock at all, it wasn't Women or our Jewish community.
Will this article gain the same reach? We might not have a foreign spy agency using bots to amplify it…
but if you remember the 2017 Women’s March, it really was because all of us acted in solidarity, based on a vision of an equitable and just world.
