Stockton, California, has long functioned as a display case for troubles afflicting American life. The housing bust turned it into an epicenter of a national foreclosure disaster and plunged the city into bankruptcy. Now, #Stockton is readying plans to give $500 a month in donated cash to about 100 local families, no strings attached. As the first American city to test universal basic income, Stockton will watch what happens next. So will governments and social scientists around the world. As the logic runs, if everyone gets money — rich and poor, the employed and the jobless — it removes the stigma of traditional welfare schemes while ensuring sustenance for all. “Poverty is the biggest issue,” said Stockton’s mayor, Michael Tubbs. “Everything we deal with stems from that. There’s so many people working incredibly hard, and if life happens, there’s no bottom.” At 27, he’s the youngest mayor of a sizable American city, and the first African-American to hold the job in Stockton. Once he took office, his staff recommended basic income as a potential means of attacking poverty. “It’s about changing the narrative around who’s deserving,” he said. @jasonhenry took this photo of a mural the city commissioned to celebrate basic income as the next phase of the civil rights struggle advanced by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who advocated “the guaranteed income.” Swipe left to see a photo of Michael Tubbs.
