Michael Tubbs:
So we have about 44 mayors who are signed on to Mayors For Guaranteed Income, and many of those mayors have already begun doing pilots. So St. Paul, Minnesota, led by Mayor Melvin Carter, is doing a pilot using the first city in this country to use federal dollars using Kahrizak dollars and private dollars to provide a guaranteed income. We know that Richmond, Virginia, doing the same thing. Compton, California, is doing a guaranteed income pilot. I was just on a press conference with Paterson, New Jersey doing a guaranteed income pilot. Gary, Indiana, doing a guaranteed income pilot. San Francisco, California, doing a guaranteed income pilot for expecting mothers. Jackson, Mississippi, doing a guaranteed income pilot for Black mothers. A bunch more will be rolling out over the next couple of weeks.
So I think the goal behind these pilots are to show whether you're working with employed people, unemployed people, formerly incarcerated people, middle-class people, small business owners, whoever, whatever group you care about, a guaranteed income actually helps them and actually helps all of us. And the idea is to get it into a federal policy, some sort of guaranteed income federal policy, which we understand it's a long game.
