IPED Spring 2021 Lecture Series: The Role of Universal Basic Income During the COVID-19 Pandemic

During these turbulent times, many public policy issues have been raised to mitigate the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Humanity Forward believes that universal basic income (UBI) has a crucial role in this endeavor. UBI is direct cash relief that targets everyone. How can UBI mitigate the fallout? Please join Fordham’s international political economy and development (IPED) community to welcome Greg Nasif, the chief community ambassador of Humanity Forward, as he explains the importance of UBI—especially in this year’s unprecedented circumstances.

Humanity Forward is a nonprofit spearheaded by former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
