Give every Scottish citizen a universal basic income of £1000 per month

Give every Scottish citizen a universal basic income of £1000 per month

The Issue

Our national response to Covid-19 taken in order to protect our society means many people are facing poverty. 

We ask that the Scottish Government protect its citizens by implementing a Universal Basic Income of £1000 a month regardless of means, with immediate effect.

People already living in poverty will struggle more. Small business owners face great uncertainty. Workers in the arts and entertainment are facing immediate income loss.

Every citizen needs support during this time. We ask that the Government prioritise spending to support its people, now. 

Thank you.
