Just Income GNV is a project by Community Spring, a grassroots nonprofit focused on dismantling structural poverty and spurring economic mobility. The twin pillars of this work are providing income and building power. Kevin is the Project Director of Just Income GNV, the first guaranteed income project in the country by and for formerly incarcerated people.

Kevin Dublin is an educator, advocate, and writer of poetry, prose, scripts, and code from Smithfield, NC. He is also a participant in the SF Guaranteed Income Pilot for Artists (SF-GIPA). In his spoken word excerpt from the poem Origin Story, Kevin describes his experience with guaranteed income.

“We have to believe that a guaranteed basic income isn’t radical. It isn’t radical for each citizen to have the financial freedom to fail, to start a business, or create culture. It isn’t radical for each citizen to be able to take care of their families, of their community, and to still feel valued.”
