Pressenza’s crew joined the Basic Income March that took place in New York City, Saturday, October 26. This initiative started under the leadership of Diane Pagen and the candidate to US congress James Felton Keith (JFK) as a way to educate people about Universal Basic Income (UBI). We marched along with multiple community organizations, and among many of the Yang Gang, who wore the MATH cap in support of Andrew Yang, the presidential candidate. People chanted, “What we want? UBI now” and “Money is not evil. Empowers to the people.” We joined a global petition for the UBI from six countries and twenty-three cities like Soul, Amsterdam, Bogota, Istanbul, Kumbugu, San Francisco, among others.
