The law is clear: Harris County's Uplift Harris Guaranteed Income Program fulfills a vital public purpose — getting people out of poverty.

As Commissioner Rodney Ellis said: 'The lawsuit attacking [this program] is an attack on the people of Harris County.'

Legislators in Texas tried—and failed—twice to ban guaranteed income. In a desperate bid to stop the pilot in Houston's county seat, they've turned to the TX Atty Gen's office. But @CountiesForAGI member Commissioner Rodney Ellis is fighting back for the people of Harris County.

Here to fight with you Commisisoner 👊🏾. They only fight because the people are with us, the data is with is, and the moral arc of the universe bends towards us. Mayors for a Guaranteed Income Counties for a Guaranteed Income

Absolutely!

Guaranteed income works in Paterson, NJ, and we've got the data to prove it. $400 / month in no-strings-attached cash payments led to financial stability, increased savings, and reduced stress for participants in Mayor Andre Sayegh's pilot program.

'It was just a breath of fresh air. Like, OK, I can buy my kid a birthday gift, or I'll be OK getting tires. It doesn't matter your situation, you'll still be able to have those funds and help with whatever is needed.'

In 1831, Freedom fighter Nat Turner saw a Solar Eclipse, which he believed was a sign from God and he started what is considered the most deadly slave revolt, the Nat Turner Rebellion, which sparked the events leading to civil war.
