About this webinar:

The Basic Income series is an accessible introduction into the world of basic income and what its implementation could mean for youth across what is colonially known as Canada and beyond. Our series is designed to provide accessible insights and spark discussions on this important topic.

The third webinar of this series will delve into the current context of 2SLGBTQ+ poverty and income insecurity in Canada, highlighting the ongoing and systemic economic inequities faced by this community. We will explore the potential implications of a guaranteed livable income for 2SLGBTQ+ equity and justice, blending both research and advocacy perspectives to consider a basic income’s transformative potential for queer, trans, and Two-Spirit people in Canada.

Webinar Objectives: 

  • Understand the current context and systemic economic inequities contributing to 2SLGBTQ+ poverty and income insecurity in Canada
  • Consider the impacts of basic income broadly, and apply learnings to connect basic income and the well-being of 2SLGBTQ+ people specifically
  • Explore the connections between basic income advocacy and core social work values as they relate to our professional commitments to social justice, including for queer, trans, and Two-Spirit individuals
