In our current system, money is power. Through that context, basic income is fundamentally a redistribution of power. In this Plenary, leaders from across a range of justice communities will talk about the role that basic income plays in helping shift power dynamics within interpersonal, community and societal systems and how these shifts can support the fight for equity and justice.

Routinely, young people and individuals living with disabilities are left out of decision-making that directly impacts their lives. While it is important to consider that youth with disabilities sit at the very intersection between these two groups, by collapsing youth and disabled communities into a singular category, we risk perpetuating harmful stereotypes and erasing identity. Join us for a conversation with Creatives Rebuild New York's Guaranteed Income for Artists and representatives from Trust Youth Initiative (TYI), a "Cash Plus" program being piloted in New York City (and beyond) by Chapin Hall and Point Source Youth. This is an opportunity to learn about and discuss the shared and unique challenges these groups face and critical distinctions between the two. We will also examine youth-centric and disability-centric priorities for design, adaptation, and scaling, and important actions we can take to protect cash recipients' existing benefits while shaping direct cash policies and practices for the future.

The DC Guaranteed Income Coalition will discuss their recent victories and plans for the future as a diverse, advocacy-focused intersectional collaboration of DC low-income mothers, low-wage workers, and other stakeholders, dedicated to establishing an income floor, passing a permanent guaranteed income for all in Washington, D.C., and shoring up the safety net benefit. The sheer breadth, power, and results of this coalition is changing the narrative of what a wide-ranging coalition can accomplish for people from traditionally opposing policy frameworks: those who are earners and non-earners.

In Her Hands: A Blueprint for Community-led Pilots
In Her Hands is a guaranteed income initiative that was launched in 2022 by the Georgia Resilience and Opportunity (GRO) Fund and GiveDirectly. Beyond its goal to deliver cash to 650+ low-income Black women across Georgia, this program was intentionally created and designed to drive powerful narrative change. We are disrupting long held harmful narratives about poverty, gender, and race by centering community voices, telling dignified stories, and illustrating the power of cash. As the cultural phenomenon of GI spreads, we believe that building pilots from a community-centered framework helps to shape an inclusionary vision for future Guaranteed Income & direct cash policies. In this presentation, we will share the blueprint of In Her Hands and how our initiative is building towards visionary change.

Centering Justice Impacted Community Members in Program Design and Implementation
In 2021, EAT built the Chicago Future Fund (CFF) as an innovative solution to economic inequality by providing $500/month to 30 returning residents in West Garfield Park. This year, EAT expanded the program, providing guaranteed income to 100 system-impacted individuals in Chicago's South and West sides. Since its inception, the CFF has shifted the narrative around guaranteed income and system-impacted individuals in Illinois, paving the way for several GI programs to follow. The CFF is more than a GI program. It is an acknowledgment of past harms, an investment in Black joy, and an opportunity to remedy the absence of actionable alternatives to police and prisons in Illinois.

Rewriting the Script: Dismantling Stigma and Reclaiming Power through Personal Stories
In this interactive session, participants will challenge pervasive myths and stereotypes, using clips of the documentary film Storming Caesars Palace as a point of departure and reflection.
The stories of women with limited means and autonomy in the 1960’s and 1970’s are echoed in the stories of many today. Just as pervasive are stereotypes about families receiving public assistance, Black women, and other low-income individuals facing discrimination, exclusion, and stigma. How do they show up systemically in public rhetoric, policies and programs, and how do we dismantle them with stories from the communities with which we work? Participants discuss using additional prompts and contemporary examples.

In the early stages of movement building, having a broad range of policy efforts is critical: different policy efforts can help inform design requirements, be a forcing function for tool and infrastructure design, and provide opportunities for the public and politicians alike to engage with the ideas behind basic income and its role in transforming the economy and society. This plenary will highlight the current work being done in the policy space, including the opportunities these different efforts provide for informing potential north star federal policy, as well as begin to identify gaps in knowledge or open questions we need to answer to better lay the groundwork for a national basic income.

BASIC INCOME EARTH NETWORK (BIEN)
We represent the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN), which is a global network with over 500 individual members and 50 affiliates across six continents. It was established in 1986 and is one of one of oldest and largest basic income advocacy organisations anywhere in the world. Building on its rich academic heritage and consolidating its experience in conducting basic income pilot projects in diverse contexts around the world, BIEN has recently embarked on a project of reform – professionalising its operations, establishing Regional Hubs in Africa, Latic America and Asia, and attempting to build connections across the global movement.
We will also share findings from the WorkFREE ‘basic income plus’ pilot that members of BIEN’s leadership team are directing in India. WorkFREE brings together scholars, activists and civil society institutions from India and the United Kingdom to pilot what we call ‘UBI+’ in four informal settlements in inner-city Hyderabad, India. UBI+ combines universal basic income (UBI) and needs-focused, participatory community organising in order to support people to increase their power to meet their needs. The pilot runs for two years and has recently completed its midline.
