About this event

  • 21 hours

Join Economic Security Project and Community Change in Detroit, June 11-12, as the biggest leaders in the guaranteed income movement come together to chart a path forward. Gather with fellow advocates, organizers, researchers, and funders working to establish an income floor through pilots, tax credits, and other innovative cash policies and explore connections to economic justice, healthcare, climate, education, and more.

We’ll celebrate victories, workshop strategies and tactics, and debut new research on messaging. Joining us on stage will be Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, Dorian Warren, Lorella-Praeli, and Natalie Foster. Come and help create the next wave of exciting cash policies!
