On Thursday, August 11, the Future European Network Academy for Social Movements in Freiburg, Germany held a workshop to discuss a European Citizens Initiative (ECI) for the introduction of the guaranteed Basic Income in Europe. Organizers hope to produce a text in a special meeting in October 2011 in Vienna and then begin gathering the signatures of persons which want to sign the text. The start for the ECI is planned for Sept 2012 during the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) congress in Munich. Organizers hope to obtain signatures from 1 million persons.
