The Economic Security Project and Mayors for a Guaranteed Income’s polling from 2023 shows that a majority of Americans support guaranteed income. There are 154 pilot programs and counting as of 2022 said Shafeka Hashash, Associate Director of Guaranteed Income at the Economic Security Project. “Beyond just what guaranteed income provides for families, I think people don’t realize the community aspect that it gives, because you’re stabilizing folks, which in turn is stabilizing a community,” she added.
