What's the difference between basic income and guaranteed income? What in the world is a negative income tax? If you're feeling unsure about terminology, #BasicIncomeEd has you covered. Check out this thread for definitions of the key terms in the basic income ecosystem. (1/6)

Welcome to #BasicIncomeEd! We're excited to kick off this campaign to establish the groundwork for our community’s understanding of the history, terminology, and key talking points surrounding basic income. First off, some important figures in the history of BI advocacy (1/6)

The expanded #ChildTaxCredit is a monthly payment that parents can spend however they choose—it is a guaranteed income for families. Sasha from Arkansas is one of the moms from the basic income community who joined the 50 moms from 50 states letter to @POTUS for CTC permanency!

[Income Movement @income_movement]

78% of people surveyed who don’t typically file taxes said they haven’t heard a lot about the #ChildTaxCredit. Let’s change that.

Help amplify this message and get the word out #SaverLifeTalksCTC

“Want to end poverty? Put money in people’s pockets.”

A great piece on the promise (and peril) of today’s historic #ChildTaxCredit payments, as @AnnieLowrey⁩ goes door to door with ⁦@mainepeople��� + ⁦@communitychange⁩ https://t.co/cK4cH1Y6wn

Melvin Carter, Eric Garcetti and Michael Tubbs: Most Americans support guaranteed income. Here's how we are working as mayors to make it a reality https://t.co/NureUAvmB0

Do I really need to tell you that capitalism is out of control when billionaires are having their own private space race while a heat wave wiped out millions of coastal wildlife and an entire Canadian town?

The monthly #ChildTaxCredit checks will help millions of parents provide for their kids.

But people with children aren't the only ones who need help. Recovery starts with us — ALL of us. That's why we need #MonthlyStimulusChecksNOW

They say poverty is a choice and that's true, but it isn't the choice of those living in poverty. It's the choice of the leaders of the country.

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

9 MILLION Americans lost their jobs as a result of the pandemic and got nothing from the unemployment insurance system. Monthly stimulus checks would have reached most all of them in a way UI didn't. We need #MonthlyStimulusChecksNOW to protect everyone.

#MonthlyStimulusChecksNOW. I am 100% for the monthly child tax credit payments starting on July 15. I've pushed for basic income for kids for years, but we can't simply ignore the hardships of adults without kids for the next 6 months while only the lives of parents are improved.

A sometimes overlooked but hugely important piece of basic income: Putting money into the hands of purchaser allows them to make better choices and practice effective/conscientious consumerism.

Mayors for a Guaranteed Income formed just one year ago. Since then, opinion on #guaranteedincome shifted dramatically 📈

According to new @mayorsforagi + @dataprogress polling, support for #guaranteedincome jumped 🔟 points since last August #MGIsummit https://t.co/JGT0puayRl

“55% of people said they would support universal payments of $500 to $1,000 per month.”

Support for our Movement is growing.

[Income Movement @income_movement]

How much progress can be made in a year? According to new polling from @mayorsforagi & @dataprogress, quite a bit: support for #guaranteedincome has jumped 10 percentage points since last August, with a majority of voters now in favor! Link to full memo: https://t.co/fRdRGQv7fY

What does the Child Tax Credit mean for you? I’m excited to go live tomorrow with the legendary @RGIII 🏈 to chat about everything families need as the payments start coming next week.

$250/kid. Paid monthly. No strings attached. #ChildTaxCredit
