Push For Universal Basic Income Outlives Andrew Yang's Campaign

Andrew Yang's campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination ended, but his proposal for Universal Basic Income (UBI), known as the freedom dividend, remains influential. UBI aims to provide a set amount of money to every citizen to address income inequality. Support for UBI has grown, with polls showing increased backing among voters. Political figures like James Felton Keith and organizations like Income Movement continue to advocate for UBI, emphasizing its potential to unite people across political lines and contribute to social justice. The movement seeks to integrate UBI into broader economic and social policies.
