The Deeper the Roots – Striving for Universal Basic Income (UBI)
September 5 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Event Navigation
Dayton Metro Library welcomes Michael D. Tubbs as its next Social Justice Speaker in The Deeper the Roots – Striving for Universal Basic Income (UBI) on Thursday, September 5, in the Main Library’s Eichelberger Forum, from 6-7:30 pm.
Tubbs will discuss the importance of UBI, what it is, how it can benefit the U.S., and what we can do to implement it. UBI is a proposition that the U.S. government give adult citizens a set amount of money without the basis of wealth or employment as a condition – in hopes of reducing poverty and helping citizens meet their basic needs.
At the age of 26, Tubbs was elected the Mayor of Stockton, CA, in 2016 – making him the city’s first Afro-American mayor and the youngest mayor of any major city in U.S. history. In 2021, he released his book, The Deeper the Roots: A Memoir of Hope and Home. Currently, Tubbs is the Special Advisor to CA Governor Gavin Newsom for Economic Mobility and Opportunity, founder of Mayors for Guaranteed Income (MGI), and founder of End Poverty in California (EPIC).
Sponsored by Friends of the Dayton Metro Library, the Social Justice Speaker Series aims to understand and demonstrate the effects of social justice in society, offering speakers who are unique, award-winning professionals who discuss some of the most critical social justice issues of today by providing insight from their professional fields and personal journeys.
