European Citizens’ Initiative for an Unconditional Basic Income

On January 14th 2013, the European Commission accepted a petition for European Citizens’ Initiative for Basic Income, triggering a one-year campaign involving all countries in the European Union. If the organizers collect 1 million statements of support for the Basic Income petition from any 1 million out of the 500 million citizens of the European Union by January 14, 2014, the European Commission will be legally obliged to examine their initiative and arrange for a public hearing in the European Parliament.

The initiative’s website is: https://basicincome2013.eu/

The signup page for the petition is: https://basicincome2013.eu/ubi/signup-page/
