推特CEO捐了300万美元来推动全民基本工资  

Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey is throwing his weight behind universal basic ine.
The Silicon Valley entrepreneur is mitting $3 million to Mayors for a Guaranteed Ine
a new collective of 14 mayors advocating for direct
recurring cash payments to citizens at the local
state
and federal level.
The payments seek to reduce economic insecurity and close the wealth and ine gap across the United States in the wake of the global pandemic
starting in cities such as Los Angeles; Taa
Washington; Atlanta; and Pittsburgh.
支付这笔钱是为了在全球疫情蔓延的情况下，降低经济不安全感，缩短美国的财富和收入差距。从洛杉矶、塔科马、华盛顿、亚特兰大和匹兹堡等城市开始执行。
Dorsey's contribution will be made through his Start Small initiative
a $1 billion fund for coronavirus relief efforts unveiled in April. Along with pledging to give away what was at the time one-third of his total assets
Dorsey also promised to disclose each gift on a real-time
public Google Doc.
His contributions thus far include $10 million to provide laptops and inter access for 25
000 public school students in Oakland
California
$10 million to set up free COVID-19 testing sites in vulnerable and underserved munities
and $20 million to deploy digital tools for COVID-19 contact tracing.
Dorsey also donated $5 million to Humanity Forward
former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang's nonprofit focused on establishing a universal basic ine.
Yang was the first to champion a universal basic ine of $1
000 per month during his 2020 campaign run
a concept that seemed radical at the time
but has since been elevated as the coronavirus crisis rocked the economy.
In May
Senators Kamala Harris of California
Bernie Sanders of Vermont
and Ed Markey of Massachusetts introduced the Monthly Economic Crisis Support Act
which would provide $2
000 per month to every individual with an ine below $120
000 for the duration of the pandemic
although the proposal has a slim chance of passing Congress.
