“The power of this documentary, it helps you connect with people on a human level and understand how incredibly simple of an idea guaranteed income is. And hopefully that starts to build acceptance to spend public funds in this way." -Mayor @SatyaForMadison on @ItsBasicDoc

From @MichaelDTubbs on the #ItsBasic panel at @Tribeca: It’s been great to profile the amazing other people who are doing this work. There are mayors and county leaders stepping up and saying there is another way.

[Mayors for a Guaranteed Income @mayorsforagi]

We started with one mayor in one city, and now we’re making a world premiere at @Tribeca! Check out the official trailer for #ItsBasic, a new film executive produced by our founder, @MichaelDTubbs, exploring MGI’s #GuaranteedIncome pilots across the U.S.
