We wish you a very happy and auspicious Year of the Ox! In the Chinese zodiac, the ox stands for strength but also for moving forward towards one's goals. And for hard work that pays off. Could there be a better year for strengthening the basic income movement across the world? 2021 has already started with some good news: The collection deadline for the European CItizens' Initative (ECI) "Start Unconditional Basic Incomes (UBI) throughout the EU" has been extended until December 2021 and a few days ago it crossed the 100.000 signatures mark! Also, our Sunday afternoon Basic Income Tea is back with a new series! If you missed the informative discussion on the collaborative exhibition "Wow! Basic Income!", you can watch the recording (along with all editions from 2020) on our website or on our YouTube channel. The next session on 21 February will focus on the topic of "Friends or Foes? Basic Income and Degrowth" – register here to get the invite! How better to set resolutions for 2021 than by getting inspired? Unconditional Basic Income Europe (UBIE) aims to support and connect campaigners for basic income across Europe. So we asked our friends from European basic income groups to have a look back at 2020 and tell us about the highlights of the movement in their countries – find the links to the first published reports below! |
