“Raising the Floor”: Film & Discussion

Basic Income Nova Scotia Society (BIG NS) and CBRL invite you to attend a film and discussion about poverty reduction in North America. The event is free and open to everyone.

About the film: “Raising The Floor (2022) is the moving narrative of a majority Latinx community coming together to feed neighbours and strangers during an unprecedented public health crisis. It is the inspiring story of a group of local leaders whose sense of helplessness and concern led to bold policy innovation. The research findings from the Chelsea pilot offer lessons that resonate beyond one Massachusetts city and make a compelling case for reconsidering public policies around poverty and inequality in post-pandemic America.”
