VIDEO: 10 Caregiver Reasons for a Basic Income

 

 

For more than 20 years, Karen Patrick has been a full-time caregiver for an adult daughter with multiple disabilities. When she learned about the idea of a basic income guarantee, Karen saw immediately that it would greatly improve the situations of herself and other family caregivers. The importance of caregivers and even a caregiver agency cannot be understated. Without them, many vulnerable people would be lost and alone.

Karen moderates a Facebook group Caregivers for a Basic Income and, at the request of the Basic Income Women Action Group, created a three-and-a-half-minute video “10 Caregiver Reasons for a Basic Income Guarantee” — viewable on YouTube.
