[Dona Ponepinto @DonaPLiveUnited]

Poverty is not a personal failure and there is a need for system’s transformation. Poverty is a political choice #guaranteedincome

[Dona Ponepinto @DonaPLiveUnited]

#guaranteedincome you can’t learn how to use money if you don’t have it. The power of a recipient voice.

[Dona Ponepinto @DonaPLiveUnited]

#guaranteedincome listening to recipient voices “I see money now as a tool and not just a resource”.
