UBI-EI (Unconditional Basic Income – European Initiative) is an initiative composed of UBI advocates from different European countries, who contributed to the design, initiation and execution of the two seperate ECI Campaigns for UBI, held in 2013-2014 and 2020-2022. The goal of our UBI-EI is the introduction of Unconditional Basic Incomes in every country in Europe and the world. We will cooperate and join the EUMANS pan-European movement and we will cooperate also with other groups.
- Our plans regarding the third ECI Campaign
We want to use the current seen momentum for the discussion about the introduction of a secure method for the people in this time of multiple crises. Our plans for a new ECI sould be seen as part of the ecological – social transformation of our society.
