No complicated forms to fill in: no humiliation: just a basic right.Glasgow Common Weal are staging a Zoom event to which you are warmly invited where we can hear all about what UBI really is and how we can get it.UBI is being considered in many countries these days. Even the UK Government has wondered about UBI! After all, in this day and age should we be scrabbling for a very insecure income? Why is it that we seem to live on a knife edge of insecurity? Businesses too. We don’t need that. Not today. 8.4 million of us in the UK are experiencing food insecurity - UNICEF has felt it needed to step in to help us! Join us and let’s start getting what we need: UBI!We have very knowledgeable speakers to tell us about UBI:Professor Mike Danson, Chair of Basic Income Network Scotland; and Jonny Douglas, from UBI Lab Networks (which has supported 30 areas in England and non geographical groups to start UBI Labs).Tchiyiwe Chihana, is a co-founder of the non geographical group (UBI Lab Womxn) and is a great advocate of UBI in terms of redressing inequality.After the presentations, there will be plenty of time for you to ask the panellists your questions!
