"If you're on welfare, the minute you make some income, they'll take away your food stamps, they'll take away your housing assistance. It's impossible to save money and become independent, so a lot of single parents feel trapped... The difference it makes to get $500 a month [in basic income] is freedom, to avoid eviction, getting your electricity cut off. It's given us a chance to take our lives back." That is how Porchia Willis described her lived experience as a welfare recipient and then a basic income pilot participant in the documentary film @ItsBasicDoc.
Mayor @SatyaForMadison spotting in @ItsBasicDoc 🔥 #GuaranteedIncomeWorks
