Economic Justice in the 21st Century: The Intersectionality of Race, Class and Guaranteed Income
By Income Movement
Immediately preceding this event, we are hosting a live screening of Inherent Good, a 60 min documentary about basic income.
At 2pm PT / 5pm ET watch Inherent Good here: https://watchbeem.com/cowatch/inherent-good-economic-justice-in-the-21st-century
This Panel Discussion will focus on the role of direct cash programs in changing the way our economy works for people of color. From guaranteed income, to an overhaul of our social safety net, to reparations, direct cash and a reimagining of our systems are at the heart of the conversation. We will look at the impact of current direct cash demonstrations and implication of their data for how we could move forward towards transformational change in our most marginalized communities. And we will talk about the work currently underway across the country designed to help us get there.
Join host Rennie Soga, producer of the documentary film Inherent Good and the second season of the More Than Enough podcast, as she leads this critically important conversation.
Guests include:
- Aisha Nyandoro, CEO of Springboard to Opportunity, Director of Magnolia Mothers Trust, Co-chair Guaranteed Income Community of Practice
- Mayor Lauren Poe, Gainesville, FL who is leading a guaranteed income pilot for recently released prisoners, to end the cycle of the criminalization of poverty
