Almost 2,000 people have signed a petition in support of a “universal basic income” trial in Brighton and Hove.
They want the backing of Brighton and Hove City Council as part of their campaign to guarantee a minimum standard of living for everyone.
Their petition is due to be presented to a “virtual” meeting of the full council on Thursday.
Last week, some of them took part in a “virtual” public meeting to explain, discuss and promote the idea.
The aim of the policy is to ensure that people receive enough money to provide for their basic needs without any conditions.
