hosted by Barry Morris, Sarah Higgins, Charles Barrett and Ernie Epp of UCC GLI network

There is a way to make the world a fairer place. The time is ripe to implement a guaranteed livable income (GLI) in Canada – but there’s still hesitation, politically, socially and spiritually. On April 30, join members of The United Church of Canada’s national network on GLI to investigate why, to situate GLI advocacy in a wider context of fairness, and to find ways forward towards a livable income for all.
