Feminism imagines a better future for the world - one where power is shared equally and people are not discriminated against for being who they are. But as an individual, the path to getting there can often seem unclear or overwhelming. Whose policies are going to tackle the climate crisis best? Who should I be lobbying to improve abortion access? How can I help get better pay for carers? In this podcast series hosted by Wallis Grant, Feminist Futures explores not just what we want the future to look like but how we get there and what we can do to drive forward change. Exploring a different topic each week, with the help of experts from each field, this podcast will show how we can achieve a more equal and liberated society, one step after another.

Episode 2 looks at Universal Basic Income (UBI) and asks if UBI could help to lessen gender inequality, by allowing us to have the freedom to say ‘no’ to exploitative relationships. For it, I’m joined by Michael Pugh, Director and Co-Founder of the Basic Income Conversation, which promotes basic income in the UK and supports people and organisations to engage with UBI.
Visions for a UBI future
🩺 Huge improvement’s in people’s mental and physical health due to less financial stress
⛔️ Power to say no to exploitative relationships; whether that’s your landlord, employer or partner
🌍 More collective expressions of working together as we get our head above the water and be able to tackle longer-term problems such as the Climate Crisis
What you can do
🗣 Start a conversation with people and ask how UBI could benefit them - perfect Christmas dinner conversation 🎄
