Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a government-guaranteed payment that each citizen receives. It is also called a citizen’s income, guaranteed minimum income, or basic income.
The Food Policy Council of KFL&A supports Universal Basic Income (UBI). We feel this is an essential policy that will improve food insecurity. UBI is a social justice policy that will tackle poverty and offer citizens greater freedom and choices.
Kingston authors Jamie Swift and Elaine Power make the argument for Basic Income. This book describes the history of the Basic Income movement in Canada and internationally. Swift and Power also discuss the COVID 19 pandemic and how it has shown that a stable income is necessary for communities to thrive.
