CW: Progressive Basic Income >>>> Mutual Aid
PROGRESSIVE.
BASIC.
INCOME.
We should not have to rely on crowdfunding to provide people with basic essentials like food, clothing, shelter, or access to social connections.
To Hell with the current dysfunction and insufficient "welfare" system or reliance on "charity".

Of course, it goes without saying that any #ProgressiveBasicIncome scheme MUST be executed within the context of broad redistribution of wealth and resources to serve the majority and eliminate economic inequality/inequity...and that includes radical increases of the minimum wage to Livable levels; a nationalized healthcare system stripped of private profiteering; and a shift in housing to eliminate homelessness rather than simply warehousing or kettling homeless folks.

And, in addendum:
If you are so constantly irked by the repeated requests for survival funds, 2nd best solution -- other then actively giving -- is to actively work to restore an adequate means of public support so that people's needs are addressed without having to resort to fundraising.
