The Institute on Race and Political Economy at the New School invites you to a one-hour briefing to introduce a new paper from economists Naomi Zewde, Darrick Hamilton, and colleagues proposing a national guaranteed income. Picking up on a proposal endorsed by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., their guaranteed income proposal aims to completely abolish poverty in the United States and lift the incomes of tens of millions of Americans.

During this exclusive event, Darrick Hamilton, Henry Cohen Professor of Economics and Urban Policy, and the Founding Director of the Institute on Race and Political Economy at The New School will be in conversation with Mayor Michael Tubbs, co-author, Naomi Zewde, Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy at the City University of New York, Andre Banks, CEO of A/B Partners, and Natalie Foster and Chris Hughes, Co-Founders of the Economic Security Project, which provided funding for the paper.  Senator Nina Turner will deliver opening remarks and the panel discussions will be moderated by Dorian Warren, Co-Founder of the Economic Security Project.
