California guaranteed income advocacy group recommends permanent policy funded by 'dedicated local taxes'

A California-based advocacy group, Economic Security California, aims to establish a permanent guaranteed income program funded by dedicated local taxes. The group, part of the national Economic Security Project, has supported over 100 U.S. pilot programs and emphasizes transitioning from temporary initiatives to sustainable policies. Examples include LA County’s publicly funded program and Cook County’s use of local budget funds after federal aid expired.
