Traditional welfare programs stigmatize at-risk individuals, carry heavy bureaucratic costs, and are slow to act. In contrast, this dividend is an unconditional direct cash payment delivered immediately and monthly for the duration of your residency in Rhode Island
"Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" have been stolen by the very government tasked with guarding them. A universal dividend liberates citizens from the hamster wheel of survival, bypassing degrading, means-tested bureaucracies. This economic baseline empowers people to pursue dignified work, entrepreneurship, and caregiving on their own terms.
Corporate and wealthy actors are driving environmental degradation and poisoning our planet. When these entities pollute our shared air, water, and climate, they are directly extracting and privatizing value from a commonly owned asset.
Carbon emissions and pollution directly harm Rhode Islanders, making public compensation vital for true environmental justice. A carbon and pollution fee holds big polluters accountable, funding an equal revenue dividend that fairly compensates every citizen.
The earth, in its natural and uncultivated state, was once the common property of the human race. Today, Rhode Island’s commons—our public squares, roads, bridges, and natural assets—are choked by a maze of permissions, restrictions, fees, and fences. Why must citizens pay beach fees, state park fees, fishing fees, permit fees, usage fees, and licensing fees just to access what belongs to everyone? This suffocating combination of excessive taxes, constant regulations, and endless paywalls has stripped citizens of their shared inheritance and made Rhode Island completely unaffordable for most.
The universal dividend will reclaim this inheritance, helping all Rhode Islanders enjoy life, connect with the environment, and actively participate in civic life. It removes the financial barriers to celebrating, gathering, and cherishing time with friends, family, and loved ones. This is the true meaning of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The American Dream is worth fighting for—let's make history together.
Issued with unwavering faith that, in this time of crisis, the people of Rhode Island will prevail.
