Every day, headlines showcase people struggling with the crises we face—in food insecurity, housing affordability, precarious jobs, extreme weather, mental distress, discrimination, the disruption of artificial intelligence, anxiety about today, and lack of hope for the future.

These issues and many others are not only about income, but they are always about income. When we have income security enough to meet basic needs, then we have options, we have capacity to help ourselves and each other, we can manage transitions and take good risks, we can fix other problems. The need is urgent! The solutions are effective and affordable.
