Description
Oakland will launch one of the country's biggest guaranteed income programs this spring. The idea is to give 600 residents – all of them low-income parents of color – a monthly payment of $500 a month for at least 18 months with no strings attached. Chronicle reporter Sarah Ravani talks about why the idea is spreading, and how supporters are looking for proof that basic income can boost people’s health and increase racial and gender equity.
