Where We've Been & Tomorrow: Media By Us, For Us 📺 mailchi.mp/1ffefd47301b...

That's why art.coop created this free course last year with Creative Study on Guaranteed Income and various pilots focused on artists in the United States! Take the course alone or with your collective or group: creativestudy.com/course/guara...

Everyone’s talking about Artist Basic Income again with the news of Ireland’s basic income for artists (BIA) pilot turning permanent. But how do we go from pilots - like we've had in the US - to policy? Popular education and awareness campaigns!

It's a critical time to be building the liberatory cultural front in the US. People's assemblies are movement and solidarity economy technologies we must access in this moment. Who will be in New Orleans next month?

Thank you National Performance Network and Project South!

Now Reading: "This report lays out some of the relationships between disability, public benefits, and cash. (...) In the end, this document offers the notion of a ‘crip coin’ as an essential currency for the future of the cash movement." www.creativesrebuildny.org/wp-content/u...
