Meet the Team
The UBI4ALL Team is from several countries. In the course of starting the European Citizens' Initiative we asked ourselves how Unconditional Basic Income touches other people in other countries. So we set up the UBI4ALL raffle in order to check out the effects of Basic Income throughout the world.
Robin Ketelaars, Netherlands
Superpowers: don't panic, be inventive, trust.
Key belief in Basic Income: freedom to live your life without bullshit jobs.
Favorite topic with Basic Income: tax resources – not people.
Roswitha Minardi, Austria
Superpowers: appreciative communication, constant curiosity about new things, mercilessly optimistic.
Key belief in Basic Income: life with unconditional basic income is like riding your bike with tailwind.
Favorite topic with Basic Income: personal and economic independence, especially for women.
Helwig Fenner, Germany
Superpowers: creative check-in questions, draught horse quality, can handle both text and numbers – at the same time!
Key belief in Basic Income: If you don't have to worry about tomorrow, then you can put your energies into wonderful things (instead of securing your existence). Imagine if we were all like that!
Favorite topic with Basic Income: the self-abolition of socially pointless business models.
Ana Catarina Neves, Portugal
Superpowers: awkward jokes that surprisingly make people comfortable; pretending to sing; talking with strangers.
Key belief in Basic Income: if everyone was given a fair shot in life, we would be more connected with everyone else around us, and we would work less, and enjoy life more!
Favorite topic with Basic Income: the promise to end paid employment!
J. W. Vahle, Germany
Superpowers: curious and open-minded.
Key belief in Basic Income: Wealth is unfairly distributed. UBI can help to mitigate the problem by providing a safety net for individuals who are struggling financially.
Favorite topic with Basic Income: faster, higher, further endangers our livelihoods, as evidenced by climate change and destruction such as plastic in our foodchain.
Sandra Vahle, Germany
Superpowers: overcoming defeat with humour.
Key belief in Basic Income: Human dignity must also be upheld in reality, not just on paper in the Basic Law. Basic income should be as self-evident for all of us as health insurance.
Favorite topic with Basic Income: Will there be less crime? Will there still be prostitution?
