A #guaranteedincome rally took place in #Denver, #Colorado 🇺🇸, saying:

"We are disheartened that guaranteed income was excluded from the mayor's initial 2025 budget proposal. We urge our partners and City Council to strongly advocate for its inclusion and push for the necessary changes.

This rally is about more than funding—it’s about building momentum for guaranteed income as a proven solution for homelessness, poverty, and inequality."

We’re gathering to urge city leaders to invest $15 million in the 2025 budget to support:   $5 million for Year 3 of the current Denver Basic Income Project cohort.   $10 million to fund a new cohort of 300 unhoused individuals for the next 3 years. This rally is about more than funding—it’s about building momentum for guaranteed income as a proven solution for homelessness, poverty, and inequality. Together, we’ll showcase the human-centered approaches that make Denver a national leader in tackling these complex social challenges. What to Expect:    Powerful Stories: Hear directly from participants who’ve benefited from guaranteed income and see firsthand how this approach is making a difference.   Inspiring Speakers: Join community leaders, advocates, and voices from across Denver who are committed to driving real, systemic change.    Take Action: Learn how you can get involved in the movement and help secure this critical funding. We need you with us to make this rally a success.

Thank you for your continued support and advocacy. We look forward to standing with you on September 18th!
