An online talk organized by Basic Income Calgary and OBIN with the help of Enough for all.
“Our focus in July 2020 was the arts and cultural sector, and how a basic income would impact Canadian artists, writers, technicians, and performers. From all across Canada, filmmakers, poets, teachers, opera singers, playwrights, actors, singers, musicians, painters, photographers, curators, graphic novelists, visual artists, circus artists, and others are making their voices heard at all levels of government for change. NOW is the time for basic income.
“Learn why 75,000 artists signed an open letter, calling on the Prime Minister of Canada to implement a permanent basic income guarantee. What seemed like an impossible, innovative idea, has now captured the public’s imagination.”
