1) Sign the Avaaz Petition
First and foremost make sure you sign up in support for a comprehensive European wide study into the feasibility of basic income as a means to transform and update current welfare provision. It should be made clear that signing your name does not amount to an advocacy for basic income per se. The aim of this initiative is rather to allow for a greater understanding of the impacts such a policy might have. The ideas has been kicking around for a while and this would be a great way to gain insight into its possibilities and challenges.
2) Get informed – sign up to our newsletter

Basic Income is taking off around the UK. For those of you in Oxford…
Basic Income Oxford
We are a group of people interested in exploring/ experimenting with/ researching ideas of basic income as a shift in consciousness, as a necessary separation between work and income and as an impulse to become active and responsible global citizens in and around Oxford, or wherever we are.
Aspects of our research are being carried out in collaboration with Brookes University and the Social Sculpture Research Unit (SSRU). Join our Facebook Page to stay updated about local, national and international events and actions, and for those in the area you are very welcome to come along to our meetings in Oxford.
For more information contact Sarah Thorne: smdthorne (at) gmail.com.
If you would like help organising basic income discussion groups or campaigns in your areas please do get in touch. This group is intended to be as open and collaborative as possible.
So if you have any ideas about possible actions, campaigns or events please do not hesitate to contact us and let us know your ideas.
yeah yeah yeah
wonder when uk main stream media start talking about basic income maybe then a change will happen
It is not normal that at our century so many people can’t even fulfil their basic needs such has eating and having a roof. I am for global solution. Worldwide. No one should be poor. The ones who want to work can but we should have the choice without feeling bad about it.
I am a singer and I work for so many years without getting a salary so I have to work in something that I dislike to be able to survive and continue what I am good at because it doesn’t allow me to survive. It is so unfair than only paid work is valued. Artists, homemakers, children, retired people etc.. don’t get paid to do what they do but whatever activity you do is work. ll types of work should be attributed. I believe that unconditional basic income is an answer to poverty, depression, death, and it will force us to review why we are in this planet for. Thanks
