Guaranteed Income: Funding the Future

In Illinois, like in other places affected by the War on Drugs,
many people are feeling the impacts of incarceration and its
negative, prohibitive effects on their futures. In this episode,
Richard Wallace, founder of the organization Equity and
Transformation (EAT), shares how guaranteed income has proven to
be a transformative tool for this kind of systemic disruption.
EAT is built on a reparations framework, providing direct cash
support for recipients and leading directly to new employment,
decreased recidivism, and a whole new form of community — all
while setting a precedent for other municipalities to do the
same.
