Andrew Yang is making a difference & leading by example. When during his candidacy for US President, he spearheaded the debate on universal basic income, and proposed $1000/month to alleviate the suffering of Americans, he was laughed off the stage.
Yet today, Republicans and Democrats have signed off on a similar idea, with the government giving direct payment to Americans with the coronavirus relief bill, to help people survive financially as much of the economy shuts down in an effort to slow the spread of covid-19.
The idea is for this to be a one-off thing with over 80 percent of American adults receive a payment, according to an initial estimate.
Meantime, Yang is not relying solely on the government and through his Humanity Forward Coronavirus Relief Fund will distribute at least $1 million dollars to those most in need during this time of crisis.

Moreover, Humanity Forward is seeking to help a segment of the population that was struggling even before the pandemic, creative artists, through competition/expo with prizes.
I am, especially, grateful during these challenging times to be the lucky recipient of Yang’s generosity and have received $250 sent to my PayPal:

Thank you, Mr Yang, for your selfless support & reminding us that we’re in this together 🙏🏼
