Pittsburgh Is Participating in Jack
Dorsey's 'Guaranteed Income' Program Mayor Bill Peduto
confirmed the
city's participation. Eligible residents in Pittsburgh
and 15 other cities will receive
$500 a month in "guaranteed income"
funded by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Mayor Peduto wants to award the payments to those who are currently struggling amid the COVID-19 pandemic. He also wants to give the money to
different demographics so that a study can
be done to analyze how well the system works. Dorsey tweeted about the
program earlier this month. In 2018, the mayors of Atlanta, Seattle
and Los Angeles formed the network
Mayors for a Guaranteed Income. They will also be participating
in Dorsey's program. Stockton, Calif. Mayor Michael Tubbs
