We need a #UBI pilot focused on coal miners somewhere in the world. Wales would work. So would Kentucky or West Virginia. These states should have followed Alaska's lead 40 years ago anyway, distributing universal dividends as people's rightful share of natural resource wealth.

Add the workers to the #BasicIncome pilot.
Let’s test the impact the policy can have on justly transitioning workers from heavy industry jobs.
Be bold @WelshGovernment.

New #BasicIncome program in Flint, Michigan just dropped thanks to @GiveDirectly. You can now directly donate to every pregnant mom there. Every mom will get $1,500 during their pregnancy followed by $500/mo for a year.

All the sessions from #BasicIncomeNorth2023 are now live!
They are short and involve fascinating insights on UBI, such as what we need to get to a UBI, making them perfect listening material.

Climate policies are popular with the public.
What’s not popular is placing the cost at the door of ordinary working people.
That’s why we need a #JustTransition.
Tax the wealthy.
Pay workers in carbon heavy industries a #BasicIncome.

ALT Orange filter over an image of a traditional sailboat out on open water, with the UBI Logo on the rear sail. To the right of the sailboat is a UBI Lab Membership logo and the words: 60-90 Onboarding Sessions, a list of dates/times and NB. that all times are BST.

Close the mine. Pay the workers a #BasicIncome.
The miners of the 80s were left behind and it created inter-generational poverty in Wales.
It can’t happen again.

UPDATE: official figures on 330 days of #Ffosyfran illegal coal mine = over 1 MILLION TONNES of CO2.

2⃣@MerthyrCBC (local council)
3⃣@WelshGovernment

No Andrew, you’re completely wrong.
Shock!!
The Welsh #BasicIncome pilot has included unaccompanied migrant children who are in the care of the local authority onto the pilot.
They are not illegal!!
Embarrassing as usual from the Welsh Trump.

Labour ministers in the Senedd want to pay illegal immigrants £1,600 a month.
They’re completely wrong.

Over the last year, our Basic Income Pilot has been changing people's lives.
The scheme provides financial support for young adults leaving the care system.
We spoke to Brandon to hear how the scheme has helped him to invest in his future📽️👇

And we’re sure you’ll come round to the idea of #BasicIncome at some point, Aaron.

Great chatting to @w_stronge today about a 4 day week and UBI.
I’m an advocate for universal basic services as a political priority - but he makes one hell of an argument!
@Autonomy_UK doing such extraordinary work at the moment. Interview up soon: youtube.com/@NovaraMedia

Llongyfarchiadau @RhunapIorwerth.
In 2021, Rhun signed our pledge to support a #BasicIncome pilot.
We hope he’ll now work cross-party to lobby for the powers needed to deliver basic income for Wales.
