Basic income means choosing because you want to, not because you have to.

How do you know when a decision isn’t really in your best interest? Try this thought experiment: walk around this coming day, mindful, as if every month, all your basic needs were taken care of. Notice if your choices change once you actually feel secure. Together, let’s make UBI happen.

We’re at 34% toward getting our email server back up. If 12 more people gave $25, we’d hit our goal. That’s the cost of one dinner out for something the basic income movement depends on. Chip in and help us get back online basicincomeaction.org/campaigns/6a333f2df660cf3ae97a3ccd

Show up. Speak up. Build economic security for everyone. That's the new Bold Action design system for Basic Income Action, an action network for UBI advocates worldwide. New site, new dashboard, new actions, new sharables, and more. Thread of screenshots below 🧵

Without land, you can’t build shelter or grow your own food. Rent on that land is essentially a toll: unearned income paid to whoever fenced it off first. Tax that unearned income. Return it as basic income

We’re 34% of the way to getting our email server back. This isn’t just “set up an inbox.” It means a hardened proxy server, security configs, and about a week of real technical work. Plus the cost of renting the server itself. Help Reconnect the Movement basicincomeaction.org/campaigns/6a...

Lebanon, Oregon has a mayoral candidate talking about basic income. 👀

Some guy a few thousand years ago stuck a fence in dirt and said "mine." No receipt. Every rent check since is interest on that bluff. UBI's not a handout. It's you finally getting cut in on what's still being denied you

People often ask how much UBI should pay. Turns out there’s no universal agreement The common features: universal, unconditional, individual, paid regularly in *cash. Many U.S. proposals land near the federal poverty guideline for one adult, about $1,330/month.

Thanks to Greyson Kent for donating to our email server fund. We're at $152 of $450, over a third of the way there. Once it's funded, we'll have a year of hosting and full email delivery restored. If you want to help us get there: basicincomeaction.org/campaigns/6a333f2df660cf3ae97a3ccd

Si travailler dur garantissait de sortir de la pauvreté, il n'y aurait pas de travailleurs pauvres. Alors, qu'est-ce qui manque ?

Good faith is the whole ballgame. We can disagree on policy design, funding mechanisms, even whether a sovereign wealth fund should come before UBI. What we won’t do is host bad-faith noise dressed up as debate. Real discussion requires people arguing in good faith. If it isn’t, we’ll just say so

Basic Income Action supporters — we're growing! 🌱 We want community guidelines beyond Bluesky's defaults, reflecting our own values for good-faith UBI discussion, education, and advocacy Eg Chaotic, anti-social, bot-like behavior — that read like the spawn of 4chan — will not be tolerated.

People have known about basic income for years. Many said nothing, organized nothing, and contributed nothing to the movement. Then GenAI became controversial, and suddenly they showed up—not to help advance UBI, but to berate the people who've been doing the work.

The Odyssey, Mitch McConnell, or Trump living rent-free in your head, evict them for two minutes and make room for the Basic Income movement. 🥹 Check out our draft Global Action Network website draft for UBI advocates. Praise it, suggest improvements—we're looking for honest feedback
