Just a hugely thought-provoking day at the #BasicIncomeNL summit. Reminded again how advanced this conversation is in Atlantic Canada. If it's going to happen anywhere, it'll be here. That's really something.
"We can choose to end poverty. That's both exhilarating and sad. We can choose to end poverty ... and we haven't done so... My plea is that we not lose our passion. That we not lose our persistence."
Powerful conclusion from Sister Elizabeth Davis at our #BasicIncomeNL summit.

The proposed model of Basic Income in the Basic Income Policy Paper would entirely replace the current provincial Income Support program ‼️ However, Basic Income is not a replacement for our entire social safety net. Learn more at 👉 https://t.co/d44NkN9gJm #BasicIncomeNL
The cost of Basic Income may seem high, but it’s important to note that the model proposed in the Basic Income Policy would cost less than what the province currently spends on Income Support. It also has the potential to eliminate poverty. #BasicIncomeNL

For folks living in poverty, finding support from non-profits can help ensure they are able to stay safe and have food to eat. A Basic Income program would empower folks to have choice in decisions they make in their lives.

In 2020, 25% of folks receiving Income Support were unable to work due to illness (source: NL Statistics Agency, https://t.co/J0nGVKEa3z). For people living w/ illness or disability, a Basic Income program would ensure they aren’t living in poverty.
A Basic Income program is a simple solution to a complex problem.
By ensuring everyone has the means to meet their basic needs, everyone in our community will benefit.
