About this listen

 In this final episode of 'Democracy After Disaster,' we hear about Dolly Parton's ‘My People's Fund” and its inspiration for a universal basic income (UBI) after a disaster. We look at the benefits of UBI, including mental health and social cohesion, and some of the common criticisms. We also explore participatory and deliberative democracy, highlighting successful examples and the potential for self-organizing systems in community recovery.
