Full description from organizer

​What to expect 🌍💚 REGISTER HERE! Join Prof. David Casassas and author Julie Wark at Backstory for a lively discussion on why universal basic income could be the answer to today‘s global challenges. Access to universal basic income is thought by some experts to help resolve many of today's global issues: from poverty, to crime, to human rights violations and even the climate crisis. This talk will delve deep into the topic and explore why universal basic income could be a mechanism for guaranteeing basic freedoms in an era of growing inequalities and injustices. David is an associate professor at the University of Barcelona, where he teaches social and political theory. He was Secretary of the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) and is now a member of its International Advisory Board. He is the author of Unconditional Freedom: Universal Basic Income and Social Power.

Julie is the author of The Human Rights Manifesto, co-author of Indonesia: Law, Propaganda, and Terror, and Against Charity, and the European correspondent for CounterPunch. 🗣️ This event will be held in English. ​About this community 📣💚 For rights, against wrongs.

CLAMOUR is a growing community of people who feel that the current system isn’t working and who want to imagine, discuss, and build something better together.
