Income inequity in San Diego
|
If you know about income inequity in San Diego, you've probably heard about "below the 8": how Interstate 8 symbolically divides the city into two regions: with a heavy concentration of wealth in north county, and stark concentrations of poverty in the south.

What's the vision, and what's next?
The topics of the night are two policy agendas: the ongoing fight for a higher minimum wage and related growing global movement for the promising, more root-cause policy known as basic income. Our diverse panel has rich experience in San Diego and California relating to this work from various backgrounds and perspectives.
