City of Alameda to host a screening of It’s Basic

Published on February 21, 2024

Join Alameda Mayor Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft, California Assemblymember Mia Bonta, and Mayors & Counties for a Guaranteed Income for the highly anticipated premiere of the award-winning It's Basic documentary. Following the film, Mayor Ashcraft will moderate a roundtable discussion with Assemblymember Bonta and guaranteed income program recipients, as they talk about the impact of receiving monthly direct cash payments.

The event is part of the Guaranteed Income Works national tour and It's Basic follows guaranteed income recipients from pilots across the nation. The film explores the power of cash and the importance of dignity through the eyes of guaranteed income recipients who have experienced firsthand the transformative effects of financial stability.

This event is free and open to the public, but members of the press are encouraged to contact Sarah Henry, shenry@alamedaca.gov, to coordinate coverage.
