'Try this in a small town. Try it in every town:' new documentary featuring a guaranteed basic income in Cambridge shows the good that comes from giving low-income families a little extra help ( basicincometoday.com )

In Cambridge, and in dozens of places across the country, local governments are giving their unluckiest residents a guaranteed income — payments of between $200 and $1,000 per month to help them pay rent, put food on the table, gas up their cars, get an education, or do whatever elsewill relieve them of some of the impossible choices they must make every day.

“If we lift up from the bottom, the whole community will benefit,” Cambridge Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui says.
