The Research for Action Podcast

How can you change lives with a single idea? Basic Income might be that idea. But how do you get from idea to policy? This is the question we aim to answer with this podcast, and we do so by sharing the stories of the people who make it happen! Voices of Basic Income is the official podcast of the Basic Income Research & Action Lab network (BIRAL). By highlighting the practicalities of making Basic Income a reality on a local level, we hope to inspire more people to join us on this journey. One person at a time, one step at a time, let’s make Basic Income a reality in your lives!

You are here for answers, and so are we. This podcast illuminates the underlying causes of homelessness, explains systems that perpetuate it, explores innovative solutions, and shares stories from those with lived experiences. Dr. Marisa Zapata, director of PSU’s Homelessness Research & Action Collaborative, talks with experts, including those with lived experience, on how to better understand and address homelessness in Portland and beyond.
