ACT BIG Conference
Thursday June 5, 2025 TBA
Informed by years of serving racialized immigrant communities, grounded in lived experience, and enriched by insights from a storybook project, this presentation explores how a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) can improve mental health, overall well-being, and income security in racialized immigrant communities. It features narratives of women navigating complex, intersecting, often marginalized realities, such as newcomers, refugees, and single mothers. The presentation highlights the systemic barriers that reinforce economic insecurity and gender inequality.

In a context where the voices of racialized immigrant women are often unheard or marginalized, this presentation aims to amplify those voices, disrupt dominant narratives, and make a compelling case for the transformative potential of BIG in advancing gender equity and economic justice.
