Pope Francis first highlighted the idea of basic income in 2020, suggesting that a universal basic wage could recognize and dignify essential work, ensuring "the ideal at once so human and so Christian of no worker without rights."

After over 70 years of folk advocating for a Guaranteed Livable Income (my Dad was working on this in the 1950s) it's final moving ahead! Second reading and on to the Senate....
Thank you @LeahGazan for your work.
This single move would allow the poorest to eat and have a place to live

A big part of this fundraiser is helping bring Maki Yi, an extraordinary Korean Canadian artist, to TO to work with director Peter Hinton-Davis. Her insight and collaboration are vital to the play’s soul.

A decade ago, MLAs voted unanimously to protect gender identity in BC's Human Rights Code.
The MLAs from OneBC & the BC Conservatives should be ashamed of themselves for how they voted last week. Kids, regardless of gender identity, deserve support and protection.
Today we launch! ✨
Help us make the FALLING IN TIME design workshop happen — a small step toward a big dream.
Even $5 or $10 makes a difference. Let’s make it happen, together.

Canadians rank basic income as top answer to AI job displacement
We expect this will only grow in salience
Recent Abacus Poll shows Canadians rank Guaranteed Basic Income as #1 choice to address AI job loss
- half see AI as force for progress, if well managed
- greatest potential in healthcare, business, education
- a country divided on who/how to regulate AI

Climate deniers ignore the facts: 99.9% of studies confirm human-driven climate change. Heat deaths soar—16,500 in Europe this summer alone. Wake up! Earth needs thinkers, not blind denial. Act now or face the consequences. #ClimateAction #ScienceMatters #Fridays4Future

New Mexico has embraced universality in their free childcare system, becoming the first state with it, and providing about $12,000 a year per kid in free care after deciding they want to eliminate the cliff effect and stigma of means-testing, and in doing so, maximize employment.
