Pope Francis on Basic Income: »The UBI could reshape relations in the labor market, guaranteeing people the dignity of refusing employment terms that trap them in poverty. It would give people the basic security they need, remove the stigma of welfarism, and make it easier to move between jobs as technology-driven labor patterns increasingly demand. Policies like the UBI can also help free people to combine earning wages with giving time to the community. « -- Pope Francis in »Let us Dream« (2020) #eciubi2027 #basicincome #UBI #pope

Bertrand Russell on Basic Income: Russell, author of »Principia Mathematica« and a founder of analytic philosophy, was also in favor of a basic income. He writes: »Anarchism has the advantage as regards liberty, Socialism as regards the inducements to work. Can we not find a method of combining these two advantages? It seems to me that we can. [..] Stated in more familiar terms, the plan we are advocating amounts essentially to this: that a certain small income, sufficient for necessaries, should be secured to all, whether they work or not [..].« https://basic-income.eu #eciubi2027 #ubi #basicincome

The Citizens Dividend is a UBI with a simple idea: every Australian gets an unconditional income floor, replacing baseline welfare while keeping disability, housing and carer support on top. It starts at the Henderson Poverty Line, then indexes to a smoothed share of GDP per citizen, so the payment grows when the country actually grows. Because it's taxed like ordinary income, there are no withdrawal cliffs and no incentive to stay below a threshold. That means real freedom to take part-time work, retrain, care or start something, without losing basic security. Fusion is building this. Join us and put an income floor under everyone. #auspol #UBI

Why aren't trade unions promoting the green transformation more? A trade union leader explains: »But you have to understand, the union also has members who work at the airline.« Now we have a problem: if many people's income depends on doing the jobs they already have, then transforming our society becomes difficult. Thus, it follows: Basic Income is a precondition for a social and ecological transformation of our society. #basicincome #ubi #eciubi2027

The Citizens Dividend is a Universal Basic Income for every Australian. Unconditional, automatic, and launched at the Henderson Poverty Line before being tied to a share of national productivity. It replaces the churn of targeted welfare with a stable income floor. No more choosing between a bad job and poverty. No more employers profiting from low wages while taxpayers pick up the tab. Paired with sector-level bargaining to coordinate fair pay and conditions, this is the structural fix to privatised-upside-socialised-cost. Workers gain bargaining power; corporations can't externalise poverty onto the public. This is what a fair economy looks like. Join Fusion to make it law. #auspol #UBI

Fusion's Citizens Dividend replaces our broken welfare system with a universal income floor for every Australian. It starts at the Henderson Poverty Line and grows as the nation's productivity grows. No conditions, no means tests, no benefit withdrawal cliffs. Just a stable baseline that gives people real economic security and bargaining power. Imagine being able to leave a bad job without losing everything, or retrain without falling through the cracks. That's what a Universal Basic Income delivers. Australia can afford it – we've just chosen not to. Let's change that. Join Fusion and help make a Citizens Dividend a reality. #auspol #UBI

This works like #UBI. Give people a stake in the future instead of squashing their hopes and suddenly you don't need cops or armies nearly so much. >> Giving £2 a day to people in the Amazon helps protect rainforest, pilot project finds | Amazon rainforest | The Guardian

Fusion's Citizens Dividend is a Universal Basic Income that replaces complex, conditional welfare with a simple, unconditional payment to every Australian. Launched at the poverty line and later tied to national productivity, it ends poverty traps, gives workers real bargaining power, and removes the need for corporate handouts. This is the structural fix to the cost-of-living crisis. Join Fusion to build an economy that works for everyone. #auspol #ubi
