Does a Monthly Check to All Americans Make Sense Even Without a Pandemic?
Channel: New America
Date: 24/04/2020

We can’t meet up together in person these days, but we at Future Tense believe that connecting with each other to consider how technology and science can disrupt and enhance our lives is more vital than ever. Plus, we miss you all. That’s why we’re launching a biweekly series of what we’re calling Social Distancing Socials. You can join these interactive conversations via Zoom, from the comfort of your home with your favorite beverage in hand.

Join us Thursday, April 23 for less than an hour at 4:00 pm EDT to discuss universal basic income:

Hosts:

Annie Lowrey, @AnnieLowrey
Staff Writer, The Atlantic
Author, Give People Money: How a Universal Basic Income Would End Poverty, Revolutionize Work, and Remake the World

Sebastian Johnson, @sdpjohnson
Writer and Philanthropic Strategist

Follow the conversation online using #SocialDistancingSocials and by following @FutureTenseNow.

====================================

We are dedicated to renewing the promise of America by continuing the quest to realize our nation's highest ideals, honestly confronting the challenges caused by rapid technological and social change, and seizing the opportunities those changes create.
