A Two-Year Journey Into the Heart of UBI

Twenty Americans from all walks of life have just been guaranteed an unconditional paycheck every week that’s big enough to cover basic living expenses. What will they do with this opportunity? What if this weren’t a lucky break for a few, but a government policy for all? What would you do with it?

If you had the freedom to be independent of and unbeholden to any other person or employer for a source of life-sustaining income - the freedom from fear of homelessness and hunger - what would you dare to pursue?

BOOTSTRAPS investigates the concept of universal basic income and the realities and impacts it would have on everyday America.
