Best of WCI: Mayors for a Guaranteed Income Fight for Financial Equality

Last week, Andrew Yang released a book about his ideas on transforming our political and economic systems. Yang is most well-known for popularizing the idea of a universal basic income but it’s a concept that’s been around for centuries and now it’s having a moment on the local level. In light of this, we wanted to revisit an episode from earlier this year where we covered a similar topic: guaranteed income. Guests: Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui of Cambridge, Massachusetts and former Mayor Michael Tubbs of Stockton, California with Mayors for a Guaranteed Income.
