Last week, at the São Paulo State Assembly (ALESP), we presented Cap&Share to Eduardo Suplicy and his team — a model that connects climate policy and basic income. 🌍
Social and climate justice can (and should) go hand in hand. Thank you to Suplicy and his team for the warm welcome!

A big mention for UBI4Farmers from Natalie Bennett. This keeps up the momentum from the recent UBI and Regrowth briefing for MPs at Westminster and makes it clear what we need to do to provide farmers with a safety net
Farmers left in the lurch by the government, which means a threat to the #FoodSecurity of us all, and risks further decline in #biodiversity

Ideas like fair banking alongside #basicincome are crucial for a fairer society.
We should trial a basic income with coal miners, such as in Aberpergwm who could lose their jobs in a Just Transition.
