Together, they dive into the realities of Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI)—a policy designed to provide no-strings-attached cash payments to individuals and families in need.With millions struggling to make ends meet, we ask: Does GBI empower people to escape poverty, or does it foster dependency? Our guests share insights from pilot programs in Los Angeles and Stockton, breaking down the data, misconceptions, and long-term impact of direct cash assistance.Abigail R.

Exploring the challenges and triumphs faced by emerging leaders in the nonprofit sector, from the fresh perspectives that Generation Z brings to the table, with guests Anum Qadir and Christian Celeste Tate from the Bridgespan Group. Watch on video!Host Julia Patrick kicks off this eye-opening chat by acknowledging the frequent exclusion of young leaders from critical discussions about the future. "It's just a bunch of old people like me yammering on and not engaging our next-gen leaders," she remarks, setting the stage for this thought-provoking dialogue. Christian Celeste Tate, who co-hosts Bridgespan's "Dreaming in Color" podcast, shares key takeaways from their recent season, which focuses on elevating leaders of color within the social sector. "One of the most powerful messages for me personally comes from Michael Tubbs," Christian says, referencing the former mayor of Stockton, CA. Tubbs emphasizes the importance of identifying not just what we want to succeed for but what we are willing to fail for. "That measure is such a different bar that really requires you to reflect on what's important to you and what you're willing to go out on a limb for." Anum Qadir, also from the Bridgespan Group, speaks on the necessity of embracing risk, particularly for young leaders who might feel intimidated by the possibility of failure. She highlights the different forms that risk can take and emphasizes the importance of pushing boundaries. "You can't even imagine what's possible unless you're willing to try and push those boundaries," Anum states, drawing from her own experiences and those of her colleagues. The trio dig into the importance of celebrating success as a form of activism. Anum shares insights from a conversation with Arlan Hamilton of Backstage Capital, who proposes that celebrating success not only sustains individuals but also serves as a model for others. "Success is a form of activism. It helps us see that even when things get hard, there is progress being made," Anum quotes, which points out the dual benefit of personal and communal upliftment. Christian and Anum touch on the necessity of creating inclusive and supportive environments. Christian notes that building a new world involves risk and requires bold, imaginative steps. "When we're building a world that doesn't exist today, there's no way forward that doesn't involve risk," he says, advocating for a mindset that embraces both success and failure as part of the journey. Continuing, about the dynamics of leadership, in relation to gender and cultural expectations, Anum reflects on her own upbringing in a South Asian household and the cultural nuances that influence one's approach to leadership. She emphasizes the values of listening to and integrating diverse perspectives, saying that true progress comes from acknowledging and harnessing the full potential of a group's collective brilliance. The episode ends with a reflection on the concept of radical love in leadership. Christian and Anum agree that embodying the values we strive for in our day-to-day actions is crucial. "If we're not practicing love in our day-to-day work, we can't expect to find it in the world we're building," Christian asserts. This conversation is rich with personal anecdotes and professional insights, putting on display the vital role of next-gen leaders in shaping a more inclusive, innovative, and empathetic future for the nonprofit sector.Follow us on the Twitter: @Nonprofit_ShowSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

I had the great fortune recently to speak with Michael Tubbs, former Mayor of Stockton and Founder of End Poverty in California (EPIC) and Mayors for a Guaranteed Income. Mayor Tubbs is also currently serving as Special Advisor for Economic Mobility and Opportunity to Governor Gavin Newsom. In today's episode, we discuss why and how advocates must focus on narrative change as a key yet often missing component of campaigns for policy and political change. Storytelling is how we make sense of the world. Our laws and policies are products of the stories lawmakers believe about how social problems came to be. My #1 takeaway: As advocates, we must use every opportunity - and create new opportunities - to radically uplift narratives missing from our dominant paradigm, i.e. the dominant storylines that pervade our culture. Over time, this creates space for real change. As Mayor Tubbs explains, “an accurate story will lead us to more accurate solutions”. In this episode you'll learn: 2:20 - Our stories don't often match reality 6:00 - Government is just people making decisions 7:40 - Why advocates need to change the narrative 10:40 - Change through Pop culture 12:44 - Here's how we flip the script 17:38 - Engaging with showrunners and writers 20:27 - Why orgs need to invest in communications and PR 24:11 - Telling more accurate stories will lead to more accurate solutions Click here for the full transcript and video: www.kbhadvocacy.com/podcast/michael-tubbs ⁠ EPISODE RESOURCES: Watch the Mayors for a Guaranteed Income Feature-Length Documentary - “It's Basic” at https://www.mayorsforagi.org/tour Check out the End Poverty In California (EPIC) Documentary – “Poverty and Power” at https://endpovertyinca.org/povertyandpower/ National Domestic Workers Alliance - https://www.domesticworkers.org/ Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Final Report - https://oag.ca.gov/ab3121/report

The new doc IT'S BASIC examines how the idea of Universal Basic Income – giving people money to do with as they please —plays out in the real world. The doc by Marc Levin explores how innovators like former Stockton, California mayor Michael Tubbs have helped introduce programs that get money directly into the hands of those who need it. What do they do with this money? It's not what cynics would expect.Pictured: Marc Levin, left, and Michael Tubbs Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How do we address society's most pressing issues and create opportunity for those who need it most? Can we create a blueprint for a just and inclusive economy that includes a safety net that centers dignity, quality jobs that empower workers, housing as a human right, wealth creating opportunities for all, and much more? Michael Tubbs is developing that blueprint by creating and implementing policies that address these inequalities, and projects like the Universal Basic Income pilot in the city of Stockton.

“Cash can't solve everything. But it can solve everything that has to do with cash.” Michael Tubbs became the youngest mayor of any major city in US history – at the age of 26. He immediately made poverty his number one issue. In 2017, as the newly elected mayor of Stockton, California, he recognized that lack of money was the root cause of most of the problems in his community. But what can the government do to alleviate poverty? Michael's answer – give cash directly to people experiencing poverty. The idea of universal basic income (UBI) is not new: it was championed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.In this week's episode, Michael tells the story of the UBI program he implemented in Stockton. The results were so impressive that his own team had to double-check the results.New episodes of Uncommon Ground with Van Jones (http://amazon.com/uncommonground) release weekly, every Wednesday.What breakthrough solutions are you excited about?

Michael Tubbs grew up in poverty. And when, at 26, he was elected mayor of his hometown, he decided to do something about it. And what he did in Stockton, California, no American mayor had done before. He started giving poor people cash. No strings attached. Stockton's pilot program in Guaranteed Basic Income started lifting people out of poverty. It gave parents more time with their kids. And it was actually cost-effective. So as we look to the Future of Work and Wellbeing, could Guaranteed Basic Income programs play a central role in lifting all of us up — and boosting the standard of life for all Americans? Guests Michael Tubbs, elected mayor of Stockton, California in 2016 at the age of 26 — the youngest mayor in the country.

On this episode of Raci$m Is Profitable, we're talking about personal responsibility. You know, the idea that if you're not right in the economy it's because you're doing something wrong. Endless political and policy decisions are rooted in this toxic assumption, driven by the flawed belief that people's behavior and choices are in their way. “Just pick yourself up by your bootstraps already.” We know it's really the systemic barriers — and the blatant racism that built them — that let policymakers minimize our deservedness and ultimately deny Black and brown folks access to economic opportunity and government support. Hear this: The struggles that people of color endure are not the consequences of our own actions or inactions. Michael Tubbs of End Poverty in California (EPIC) joins us to say it straight.

What would California look like if we eliminated poverty? According to former Stockton mayor Michael Tubbs, that's no science fiction plot but rather a plausible version of our future. Tubbs recently launched a new initiative called End Poverty in California. He joins us to explain his EPIC vision and how important personal narratives are when it comes to understanding the lives of poor people. Get in Touch Want to ask Alex a question?

With candor and clarity, Michael unveils his compelling vision for America rooted in his experiences and offers a prescription for structural change. Guest Michael Tubbs Michael Tubbs is the former mayor of Stockton, CA.

His extraordinary political rise and humble beginnings were chronicled in the HBO documentary, Stockton On My Mind.

Michael Tubbs is the former mayor of Stockton and the author of the upcoming book, The Deeper the Roots: A Memoir of Hope and Home.Stockton is representative of where California intersects—or where California collides. You have this tension between rural and agricultural and urban. I remember telling people I was from Stockton, and everyone thought it was a community with a lot of farms. I was like, “I ain't never seen no farm!” It's a city with city issues but a very agricultural background. That place has given me an appreciation for salt-of-the-earth-type folks—folks who may not have gone to college, folks who may not work in tech or the creative economy, but are still smart, are still important, still matter.  Notes and references from this episode: What is California? newsletter on SubstackStockton on My Mind, directed by Marc LevinInvisibilia: The Chaos Machine, by Yowei Shaw and Kia Miakka NatisseThe Deeper the Roots: A Memoir of Hope and Home, by Michael Tubbs (published Nov. 16, 2021)Anna Malaika Tubbs - Author siteCompeting Voices: A Critical History of Stockton, California, by Ronald Isetti“Oldest gurdwara in US,” by Asha Seth & Ramesh Seth, Spectrum - Tribune IndiaStockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (SEED)SEED Data Analysis and DashboardEditorial: Now, for your local fake news…, Los Angeles TimesThe Rev.

Former Stockton Mayor and founder of Mayors for Guaranteed Income, Michael Tubbs, is one of the most exciting young leaders in the country today. We discuss UBI, his achievements as Mayor and his new book, out Nov. 16 2021.

Government policies in response to the Covid-19 pandemic have reignited the universal basic income (UBI) debate, showing us the vital lifeline that income support can provide. In the US, Congress has distributed nearly $850 billion through three rounds of stimulus checks. In the UK, the furlough scheme and self-employed income support schemes have helped millions to keep their heads above water. But these measures are temporary and specific, so what can they really tell us about the viability of UBI?The Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (SEED), a 2-year guaranteed income pilot which began pre-pandemic and concluded in March this year has published results showing that the recipients of an unrestricted, reliable $500 monthly income are happier, healthier and better able to find full time work. Could this be the way out of the crisis that we need? Is there scope for UBI to pick up where the crisis-response income-support schemes end? And critically, can UBI really address persistent imbalances in poverty, income, and wealth?Former Stockton Mayor, Founder & Chair of Mayors for a Guaranteed Income and driving force behind SEED, Michael Tubbs, and co-chair of the Economic Security Project Natalie Foster join us to explore SEED's findings and what a year of state-funded income support means for the UBI debate.#RSAUBIThis conversation was broadcast online on the 20th May 2021 .

Michael Tubbs is the youngest mayor in American history to represent a city with more than 100,000 people -- and his policies are sparking national conversations. In this rousing talk, he shares how growing up amid poverty and violence in Stockton, California shaped his bold vision for change and his commitment to govern as a neighbor, not a politician. "When we see someone different from us, they should not reflect our fears, our anxieties, our insecurities," he says. "We should see our common humanity." Hosted on Acast.

On November 8, 2016, Michael Tubbs was elected to serve as the mayor of the City of Stockton, California. Upon taking office in January 2017, Tubbs became both Stockton's youngest mayor and the city's first Black mayor. Among other accomplishments, he leveraged a $1 million grant to launch the nation's first ever mayor-led guaranteed income pilot. Here, he talks about building trust with constituents and creating relationships and coalitions across political boundaries, and discusses solutions to pressing racial and economic inequities.

Michael Tubbs thought he was destined for either prison or death. He was born to a teenage mother and a father who was incarcerated. But he defied the odds and became the youngest and first Black mayor of Stockton, California when he was elected at the age of 26 in 2016 — the same day Donald Trump won the White House. Tubbs joins "CBS This Morning" lead national correspondent David Begnaud to explain how he has instated the nation's first pilot program for universal basic income and is leading an initiative to expand the idea in other cities. Plus, Tubbs shares how his city's police department is participating in a race and reconciliation process. He also shares how he became the subject of the new HBO documentary “Stockton on my Mind,” which shows his personal and political journey.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
