Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey is throwing his behind universal income.
推特和Square公司的**执行官Jack Dorsey要推动全民基本工资。
The Silicon Valley entrepreneur is committing $3 to Mayors for a Guaranteed Income, a new collective of 14 mayors advocating for direct, recurring cash payments to citizens at the local, state, and federal level.
这个硅谷的企业家向市长捐赠300万美元作为保障收入,由14名市长组成的新团体提倡为地方、州和联邦政府的公民直接多次支付现金。
The payments seek to economic insecurity and close the wealth and gap across the United States in the wake of the pandemic, starting in cities such as Los Angeles; Tacoma, Washington; Atlanta; and Pittsburgh.
支付这笔钱是为了在全球疫情蔓延的情况下,降低经济不安全感,缩短美国的财富和收入差距。从洛杉矶、塔科马、华盛顿、亚特兰大和匹兹堡等城市开始执行。
Dorsey’s contribution will be made his Start initiative, a $1 fund for coronavirus efforts unveiled in April. Along with pledging to give away what was at the time one-third of his total assets, Dorsey also promised to disclose each gift on a real-time, public Google Doc.
Dorsey通过他的Start Small基金捐款,四月份曾宣布捐赠10亿美元用于新冠病毒救助工作。他不仅承诺捐出了当时占他总资产三分之一的钱,还说要在公开的Google Doc上实时公开钱款去向。
His contributions thus far $10 million to laptops and internet for 25,000 public school students in Oakland, California, $10 million to set up free COVID-19 testing sites in vulnerable and underserved communities, and $20 million to deploy digital tools for COVID-19 contact tracing.
目前,他捐赠了1千万美元,为加利福尼亚州奥克兰25,000名公立学校的学生提供笔记本电脑和上网服务;捐赠1千万美元在弱势和服务不到位的社区建立免费的新冠检测点;捐赠2千万美元为新冠病毒接触者的追踪部署数字工具。
Dorsey also donated $5 million to Humanity Forward, Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang’s nonprofit focused on establishing a universal basic income.
Dorsey还向Humanity Forward捐赠500万美元,这是民主党前总统候选人杨安泽的非盈利性组织,主要关注的是建立全民基本收入。
Yang was the first to champion a universal basic income of $1,000 per month during his 2020 run, a concept seemed radical at the time, but has since been elevated as the coronavirus crisis rocked the economy.
在2020年大选期间,杨是第一个支持全民基本收入为每月1,000美元的人,在当时这一想法看起来很激进,但自从经济受疫情影响之后,这一想法得到了大家的重视。
In May, Senators Kamala Harris of California, Bernie Sanders of Vermont, and Ed Markey of Massachusetts introduced the Monthly Economic Crisis Act, which provide $2,000 per month to every with an income below $120,000 for the duration of the pandemic, although the proposal has a slim chance of passing Congress.
5月份,加州参议员Kamala Harris、佛蒙特州参议员Bernie Sanders和马塞诸塞州参议员Ed Markey草拟了《每月经济危机资助法案》,疫情期间收入低于120,000美元的人每月可以领到2,000美元,但这一提案被国会批准的可能性不大。
