Join Mayors for a Guaranteed Income and the Center for Community Voices at Fresno State for the highly anticipated premiere of the It's Basic documentary as part of the Guaranteed Income Works National Tour. This in-person free event will be held at the Maya Cinemas Fresno 16 at 3090 E Campus Pointe Dr, Fresno, CA 93710 in Fresno, CA. Get ready to be inspired and gain a deeper understanding of the importance of guaranteed income.

It's Basic is directed by Emmy award-winning independent film director Marc Levin, with Stockton, California, Mayor Michael Tubbs serving as executive producer; this new documentary introduces viewers to participants of guaranteed income pilots led by Mayors for a Guaranteed Income.

Immediately following the film screening, Mayor Tubbs will join a discussion with current participants in Fresno’s first-ever Guaranteed Income program, called Advancing Fresno County. Starting in July, 150 randomly selected families with young children in southwest Fresno and Huron began receiving $500 per month for 12 months, with no strings attached. Researchers at the Center for Community Voices will be evaluating its impact on health, stress, employment and early childhood activities, among other measures.
Set against the backdrop of widening income gaps, politics, and growing social concern, It's Basic shows how guaranteed income pilots impacted the lives of Saint Paul families and others across the country. We know if more people see the stories of our participants and learn about how life-changing guaranteed income can be for families, support for the movement will only grow.
