Now more than ever, Americans need an unconditional, universal basic income.

In the month of April, over 20 million American jobs were lost.

How are we going to get them back if people don't have money to spend? How is the economy going to grow if tens of millions of Americans lack the economic security necessary to start a new business?

For decades, economists have tested UBI in pilot programs around the world, and their findings have consistently revealed a positive impact on not only entrepreneurship, but employment. People don't just keep their jobs; they work harder, knowing that every dollar they earn stacks on top of their basic income. People everywhere don't just want to survive, they want to thrive, and basic income makes that possible for employees and employers alike.

We need to convince Congress, especially Republicans, that UBI is a pro-business, pro-job policy. These are the people who stand between Americans and the Citizen's Dividend we've been owed since our country's founding.

Now is the time. Let's reach them.
