It aims to partner with more pilots at local levels, and offer staff to help them run awareness events tailored to their specific communities.

Rutland says ordinary voters have been “one of those most important levers for change” in the biggest movements of the past, such as racial equality, gender justice, and gay rights. If pilots end without building a coalition of advocates, it’s a missed opportunity-after all, these are some of the country’s most economically vulnerable people, and the constituents whose stories should most influence elected officials. Yet, while pilot programs are very good at collecting quantitative and qualitative data to show the worth of basic income to policymakers, what’s lacking from the advocacy landscape is an energetic movement. Last summer, California earmarked $35 million for the U.S.’s first statewide income plan, for foster youth-though funds are delegated to local organizations and municipalities to run their own programs. “Engaging from the very start is so critically important, so that they know, understand, and really feel invested in what we’re doing,” Rutland says. Since its founding in 2019, the nonprofit has been building a proof-of-concept toward a model of engaging the community through educational events, and giving them the tools they need to run them, principally with three pilot programs. It partnered with San Diego for Every Child, a grassroots organization focused on ending child poverty in San Diego, which launched an income pilot in March.
