In this episode, our host Susan Li speaks with The Fund for Guaranteed Income's (F4GI) Executive Coordinator, Melody Parker.

F4GI is a 501(c)(3) public charity launched in August 2020 to prove a viable path to guaranteed income–direct, recurring cash transfers that support those who have been locked out of welfare programs and economic systems.

By building technical tools and political coalitions, they re-imagine the social safety net.

F4GI partners with governments and communities in the fight for the political and economic liberation of all people.

Vanessa Ramos and Lucina Kayee talk through the often missing stories of homelessness, substance use, and how harm reduction is imagined.
