Basic Income Pilots Working Group
Our working group has three main goals:
- to advocate for blanket-wide long-term Basic Income Pilot Programs, and to move beyond singular experiments in Europe,
- to expose the transformational potential of UBI as a key tool for transitions towards complex regenerative cultures and policies, circular economies and sustainable democratic communities,
- to mediate contacts and inspiration among interested people and to set and support a wide transnational cooperation in order to make the first participative blanket-wide BI pilot program/s in Europe a reality.
Jitka Cardová
Working Group Coordinator
Jitka is based in Prague, with a degree in philology. She makes her living partly as a translator of inspiring speculative fiction stories and as a book editor. She is an activist, occasional publicist and mediator of regenerative CSOs in the Czech Republic and beyond. She is the co-founder of Nepodmíněný základní kolektiv (Unconditional Basic Collective), a Czech NGO dedicated to Basic Income piloting.
“I’m deeply convinced that planting large Basic Income pilot programs is our only fast enough chance for a non-violent and non-ideological eco-societal transformation from a world of vain consumption and degradation into a world of collaborative care, cultivation, re-creation and regeneration.”
