Join Glasgow Common Weal online with speakers and Q&A where we can hear all about what UBI really is and how it could work for Scotland.

Universal Basic Income (UBI) gives everyone a regular income unconditionally. No complicated forms to fill in: no humiliation: just a basic right.

Glasgow Common Weal are staging a Zoom event to which you are warmly invited where we can hear all about what UBI really is and how we can get it.

Event speakers

Professor Mike Danson, Chair of Basic Income Network Scotland;

Tchiyiwe Thandiwe Chihana, co-founder of UBI Lab Womxn

Jonny Douglas, co-founder of UBI Lab Network

After short 10 minute presentations, there will be plenty of time for you to ask the panellists your questions.

UBI is being considered in many countries these days. Even the UK Government has wondered about UBI! After all, in this day and age should we be scrabbling for a very insecure income? Why is it that we seem to live on a knife edge of insecurity? Businesses too. We don’t need that. Not today.

8.4 million of us in the UK are experiencing food insecurity - UNICEF has felt it needed to step in to help us! Join us and let’s start getting what we need: UBI!

After the presentations, there will be plenty of time for you to ask the panellists your questions!
