A PRINCIPLES-BASED BASIC INCOME

starts with you

Basic Income Calgary is an action group of the Basic Income Canada Network and an Enough for All stakeholder. Basic Income Calgary's goals align with Enough for All, Calgary's poverty reduction strategy, and the growing national movement for a basic income guarantee.

We believe in and support the creation of a basic income guarantee program that would create a regular, predictable income, universally and unconditionally available to all who need it, and sufficient to provide for a decent life style and enable full participation in the community.

The United Nations Human Rights Declaration and Sustainable Development Goals establish a framework of critical importance for global action of which the primary objective is "to ensure that all human beings can fulfill their potential in dignity and equality and a healthy environment."

This means that every Canadian has a right to live in dignity, with adequate means to achieve physical, mental and social well-being.
