Why are so many people in our community struggling to pay for food and rent? When it comes to poverty and hunger, limited incomes and inadequate social assistance rates are making it impossible for people to make ends meet. Join us in Bata Library Room 210 for a hands-on workshop on how we can stop poverty in its tracks. This session will introduce the idea of a basic income guarantee, an exciting policy intiative whose time has come.

Basic Income Dinner provokes rich discussion

On July 26^th, we invited members of the Peterborough community to enjoy a free vegetarian dinner and participate in a public conversation about the basic income guarantee. With approximately 50 people in attendance, the room was filled with passionate community members who are hungry for change. In this post, we recount some of the themes that emerged from last week’s discussion.
