Joint Event by GHI Washington, the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor (Georgetown University) & the Blum Center on Poverty, Inequality, and Democracy (University of California, Santa Barbara). The event is endorsed by the American Historical Association (AHA).

In recent years proposals for a guaranteed income have gained considerable traction in the United States, whether in the form of expanded child tax credits, cash transfers, or universal basic income. Especially notable has been the expanding array of experimental pilot programs in municipalities nationwide, with support from philanthropies, elected officials, and a now expanding network of practitioners, advocates, researchers, and community-based organizations. Drawing insights from history, law, labor, and policy, this roundtable will consider the significance of guaranteed income in past and contemporary economic justice organizing among low-income mothers, workers, and communities, and, more broadly, in ongoing struggles to elevate racial, gender, and intersectional equity as fundamental economic values.

Quote from the summary:

“Our latest UBI Opinion Poll, targeting 10,000 adults, shows 80.8 percent of participants agreeing with a UBI program offering KRW 200,000 to KRW 500,000 per person per month. Only 14.4 percent really opposed UBI offers of KRW 200,000 to KRW 500,000 per month. The Pandemic Income Relief provided by the Gyeonggi Provincial Government in 2020 and 2021, and the National Pandemic Income Relief launched in May 2020 appear to have shifted the public opinion on UBI. As for the feasibility of such income, more than 50 percent of respondents were open to receiving KRW 200,000 per month, with 48 percent of those Koreans also expecting the KRW 200,000-per-month UBI to be introduced in the next three years.”
