A people powered movement to ensure nobody is left behind. #WeOweUs
Our economy is leaving millions behind. Basic Income March is a people powered movement to send the message that our society and economy needs to evolve to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
The Basic Income March will begin in South Bronx at Hostos College and finish in Harlem, at the Convent Baptist Church. We will march with and hear from leaders including Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang, Congressional Candidate James Felton Keith, and Hawk Newsome, Chairman of Black Lives Matter.
Get involved. Get inspired. Together, we can make historic change.
Bronx to Harlem. A historic walk for historic change.
We'll bombard the internet all together. Taking a page from the #yanggang, we'll take over Twitter and Instagram to maximize buzz.
Berlin Event PageFor our 2024 Week of Action, we want to lean into education and leverage the powerful tools of narrative and culture change we already have in our community! Let's change hearts and minds, and connect everyday people to the idea of basic income and opportunities for them to join the movement.
You need an account with Action Network to set up an event. Set up an account here. Then, go to the Basic Income Day of Action Event and Map and click on the large "Click to Host" button near the map. Fill out all the important steps and your event will drop on the map as a pin!
Determine the event that makes the most sense for you and your community. A picnic for friends and colleagues, a protest on your state capital steps, tabling at a farmers market, marching in the streets, hosting a film screening. The goal is to engage with your community and start to dispel the myths and false narratives that people bring to the idea of basic income.
Decide on your venue and find partners in the community to support your event.
Send out invites! Use social media, email invitations, or event platforms to invite your community. Income Movement has graphics templates if you need support! Send out reminders to guests a week before and a day before the event, along with new details. Build excitement!
Attend organizer meetings if possible to connect to community support and resources such as discussion guides and activities for your film.
Prepare to facilitate a discussion about the film. Think about strategies to set the tone for open, honest dialogue that is respectful. Print out the QR Code and quarter sheets that link to the basic income sign-on letter to congress. Conduct a tech rehearsal if possible.
Have fun! Enjoy the film and the opportunity to connect to your community. Ask people to add their name to the sign-on letter to congress. And ask folks to help recruit more people in their communities.
Don’t forget to take photos so your event can be included in the post-event communications across the basic income community. Post photos to social media with the hashtag: #basicincomeweek2024 so people see the power of the collective Week of Action.
Send a thank you email to your attendees with a few ways to stay plugged into the movement. We can help with that! The "I Support Basic Income" sign-on letter is a great starting place.
Let us know how it went! What were the highlights and take-aways, how many folks showed up. Send us your photos! Attend the post-event organizer debrief meeting so we know what worked and how we can continue to support you in future events.
Posters, placards, signs, banners. All types, all sizes. Each year we have a unique tagline for the event. This year it's "Cash is Freedom". And as always, "We Are the Economy" is the annual event's key message. Access a variety of materials following the link below.
