New this AM: Stacey Abrams and Andrew Yang announced Project 100, a campaign to provide direct cash payments to SNAP Families during the Covid crisis, with celebrity backers Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Halsey, Stephen Colbert, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and others. https://t.co/fFE2vvA9Ab
So proud to be working w/ @GiveDirectly@freshebt & @Stand4Children on #Project100 to give 100,000 families $1,000 to pay bills during #COVID19. The working poor continue to serve on the frontlines, yet they are waiting the longest for promised aid. Visit https://t.co/gfNblWQBC8. https://t.co/tZWXLNLpPv
We should not listen to these governors who want to end “stay in place” & reopen. Do not trust these same governors who lie about voter suppression, who claim to be "pro-life" but block Medicaid expansion & healthcare. Don’t listen to these governors who fight living wages, etc.
Biden is talking about the fourth industrial revolution. Everyone is talking about UBI. @AndrewYang lost but his key ideas are winning. https://t.co/4ZcijXIS50
Please let this experience teach how important it is for us to decouple both income and healthcare from employment. Both should be seen as a civic benefit, not an employment benefit. Jobs should exist to provide people income on top of UBI and no one should be without healthcare.
Unless you are living under a rock or have already perished from COVID-19, you've likely seen a YouTube video making the rounds where a medical doctor (wearing scrubs!) purports to give COVID-19 advice. (1/33)
I can see people's misunderstanding of UBI already leaking into the #EmergencyUBI plans. Let me try and explain. UBI is about creating an unconditional floor no one can fall beneath that lifts everyone in the economy away from the $0 point.
It is not meant as a job replacement.
