This post is not meant to change anyone’s mind about the need for Universal Basic Income. If you don’t support it, I’m not here today to convince you otherwise. This post is meant for all those who already know they, and everybody else, absolutely need UBI and who talk about it with others. That’s great, we need that, and thank you, but this post is about doing more than talking the talk.

The case [for Basic Income for the Arts] is strengthened by the latest report on the pilot scheme, published last week. This cost benefit analysis showed that “for every €1 of public money invested in the pilot, society received €1.39 in return”.
It follows four other reports that detailed the hugely positive impact of BIA payments on the lives of recipients and their families.
…
The research reports demonstrate the depth and extent of that precarity and insecurity.
We therefore endorse the retention of BIA and its extension to all arts workers, by continuing to support the initial cohort of recipients, while extending the payment to a much larger group. We also call for the BIA to be a permanent payment that goes to all arts workers throughout their careers.
…
The case for targeting through taxation rather than means-testing is particularly strong in relation to people with insecure incomes, such as most arts workers.
