Rep. Ilhan Omar (D.-Minn.) wants the government to provide people in the United States with what she calls “a universal basic income” or a “guaranteed income.”

Back on April 26, Omar sent out a tweet that said: “It’s time for a universal basic income.”

On Tuesday, a week after she was reelected to the House, Omar held an online "Economic Justice Townhall" with Mayor Melvin Carter of St. Paul, Minn., and Mayor Michael Tubbs of Stockton, Calif. She posted the video of the event on Twitter.

Carter and Tubbs, as Omar noted, are both members of “Mayors for a Guaranteed Income.”
