Hi All,
I have been working with a lot of artists and arts professionals from across the country all trying to formalize a pathway forward for a Basic Income Guarantee in Canada. I feel strongly that this program can benefit artists very much, as a result I have committed time and effort in supporting this initiative.
Published initially on Clayton Windatt’s blog:
A guaranteed livable income would prevent people from having their lives shortened and made miserable from poverty and poverty-related ill health.
– C.A. L’Hirondelle, Livable4All
A women-led group of volunteers in Vancouver, BC bringing the voices of the feminist, racial equality, and anti-poverty movements to the campaign for Guaranteed Livable Income (GLI), an income guaranteed to all set at a rate that meets the cost of living.
They want a non-taxable Guaranteed Livable Income (GLI) to replace our current exploitative and paternalistic welfare system, and reduce inequality in the labour market, without leaving anyone worse off.
They have developed a set of principles for a Guaranteed Livable Income (GLI).
Supported by a federal New Horizons for Seniors project, a group of seniors participated in a series of workshops designed to explore and develop an understanding of BIG. At the end of the project, they organized a very well-attended community event in Charlottetown.
