In the background, I have been working with policy leaders in #Colorado on designing what a universal basic income program could look like statewide. So much possibility!

Coloradoans deserve a collective income floor to weather the storms that life, climate change & politics throw at any of us.

A #UBI could mean I could do what I wanted and need to do once my work is done instead of pretending to look busy for the rest of my paid hours.

Sitting still in an office for hours on end is unhealthy.

‘Universal basic income’

Imagine if money wasn't a barrier. Would you still be working for “survival wages”? Universal basic income gives us the power to dictate our own labor and shift the balance of power away from the merchant class! #UBI

Skinner out of touch meme:

Upper frame, Skinner: “Are people suffering from an exploiting merchant class?”
Lower frame, Skinner: “No, it’s burnout and depression.”

With Social Security under threat, what chance does UBI have? #BoycottTesla #TeslaTakeDown

Mark (Andrew) Witham ↗️ @puffmushroom.bsky.social · Feb 22

As advocates for Universal Basic Income, we must take a stand against this injustice—without resistance, the future of UBI remains at risk.

Add #BoycottTesla to your socials and join the movement for a #TeslaTakeDown.

Make it loud. Make it bold. Paint it red! ✊🏻

This onion cuts deep for those who insist that a jobs guarantee must accompany basic income. It exposes the contradiction of offering security while still demanding justification for one’s right to it.

This onion won’t make me cry meme

Those who advocate for a jobs guarantee alongside universal basic income are, at their core, undermining human rights by imposing criteria for who is deemed deserving and who is not.

All right, a sneak peak to all my universal basic income friends and advocates at the new UI for the UBI banner app. Have a look and send me your feedback!?

I am aiming for modern, intuitive, and mobile friendly.

Working on and spent some time improving the Universal Basic Income banner app!

Intuitive and mobile friendly
Higher resolution for a cleaner look
Shaped gradient blur effect
Sharper text—still a work in progress!

Would love to hear what you think! 😊

If people had a UBI tyrannical governments and the power from wealth disparity would be lessened

If you want to fight fascism a UBI is a foundation to that

🙌 I’m excited to share that I’m working on the official website and branding for @basicincomeaction.bsky.social!

I’d love to hear your ideas and suggestions for a Basic Income Action organization. ✊

Eventually adding marketing merch and how to act now “advocate” UBI literature etc…

Playing around with a rough draft for a new BasicIncomeAction.org website!

Concept from html.kodesolution.com/2016/echarit...

Would be fun to have a global map of basic income supporters displayed!

Another feature might be a member/crowdfunded UBI?

What feature would you like to see!?!

A Universal Basic Income will curb crime. As needs like food are met, there will much less incentive for people to steal things. A UBI will help people get by, give negotiating power by the working class, help soften the blow from sudden big payments and help pump cash back into local communities.

With universal basic income I would be able to escape entrenched poverty, stabilise my chronic illness and disability, return to and finish my law degree, become a legal practitioner, and represent disadvantaged people against unjust administrative systems.
