An Illustrated Story About the Universal Basic Income Law in Brazil Passed in 2004
One Happy Story - The Citizens Basic Income
When I met Senator Eduardo Suplicy of Brazil back in 2015 in New York at the 14th North American Basic Income Guarantee Congress, he handed me and many others there a little children's book about basic income in Brazil.
For those who aren't aware, Brazil is the first country in the world to pass basic income into law, and did so back in 2004. They just haven't implemented it yet, because it's up to the President to do so, and so far they've avoided it.
I thought it would be neat to somehow make it into a video, so that's what I've done here, including my own narration.
I hope this is now able to reach more people, and if you want the images themselves, I've uploaded them to an imgur album. So by all means, if you make videos and think I did a terrible job with this version, please use the images to make a far better version. Thanks!
And my thanks as well to all those who originally created this story and its images.

Interested in doing more to grow the basic income movement than you can through social media alone? Filling out this survey from the Universal Income Project would be helpful. You can also sign the Economic Security Project's belief statement, join the Basic Income Slack channel, Basic Income Action, and the U.S. Basic Income Guarantee Network.
So, did the CBI increase their lfie quality? How is it holding up today?
By watching your video, to me it seems like a good thing.
Thanks for posting :)
As mentioned at the top of this post, the law is only on the books, and has yet to be actually implemented in full.
Here's the Wikipedia page about it for more info. (my emphasis in bold)

Great post Scott, and interesting matter.
One remark though; next time cut the music a bit, it's overpowering. I resorted to the images because the music was making my head hurt.
I hope they continue with implementing this.
I actually just started with a series of posts on this subject, maybe we should turn this into a community?
Keep preaching Scott / Upvoted / By the way, my son goes to school at Loyola of New Orleans (-:
