4. Occupy Strategy Group includes BIG in its top 10 recommended strategic objectives
The Occupy Strategy Group has included the
Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) on its top 10 list of recommended
strategic objectives. The group is an email list of over 100
people who have met to craft strategy for the Occupy Movement. The
group reviewed surveys, research, emails, articles, and other
sources. After intense deliberations--and with the desire to be as
inclusive as possible--the group chose 10 recommendations based on
urgency, doability, and degree of impact.
BIG is included not once but twice on the list. Item 5 is "Replace
all entitlements with a Basic Income Guarantee." Item 10 is
"Institute a carbon and other natural resource use tax based on
"full resource use accounting' and allocate the revenue derived
from it for a Basic Income Guarantee." The group quotes the USBIG
network for a definition of BIG, --The Basic Income Guarantee
(BIG) is a government ensured guarantee that no one's income will
fall below the level necessary to meet their most basic needs for
any reason.' -- The U.S. Basic Income Guarantee Network

Other items on the list include the following: Abolish Corporate
Personhood. Nationalize health care. Establish a strong "commons"
to protect the Earth and nourish community. Enact a sustainable large
scale energy, jobs, and environmental recovery program. Stop the
Trans-Pacific Partnership. Discontinue the practice of using
federal reserve notes to back US currency and replace them with
U.S. notes. Dismantle the CIA; end private military forces and
prohibit private intelligence agencies. Stop the Patriot Act, NDAA
and Drones.
The group invites individuals to join their ongoing conversation
