We hope you'll join us at our 2024 Denver Guaranteed Income Rally!

We are disheartened that guaranteed income was excluded from the mayor's initial 2025 budget proposal. We urge our partners and City Council to strongly advocate for its inclusion and push for the necessary changes.

This is a critical moment for our city as we push for bold, compassionate action that puts dignity and financial security at the heart of our community’s future.

Date: Wednesday, September 18, 2024

Time: 11:30 AM-1:30 PM

Location: West steps of the Colorado State Capitol, 200 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80203

Denver is already a leader in the guaranteed income movement, with a groundbreaking program that’s transforming the lives of hundreds of our unhoused neighbors. But we can’t stop now. We’re gathering to urge city leaders to invest $15 million in the 2025 budget to support:

  $5 million for Year 3 of the current Denver Basic Income Project cohort.

  $10 million to fund a new cohort of 300 unhoused individuals for the next 3 years.

This rally is about more than funding—it’s about building momentum for guaranteed income as a proven solution for homelessness, poverty, and inequality. Together, we’ll showcase the human-centered approaches that make Denver a national leader in tackling these complex social challenges.

What to Expect:

•    Powerful Stories: Hear directly from participants who’ve benefited from guaranteed income and see firsthand how this approach is making a difference.
•   Inspiring Speakers: Join community leaders, advocates, and voices from across Denver who are committed to driving real, systemic change.
•    Take Action: Learn how you can get involved in the movement and help secure this critical funding.

We need you with us to make this rally a success. Together, we can show our city that the time for guaranteed income is now—let’s continue to lead the way toward a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

RSVP Today!

Thank you for your continued support and advocacy. We look forward to standing with you on September 18th!
