Equal Right

Last week, at the São Paulo State Assembly (ALESP), we presented Cap&Share to Eduardo Suplicy and his team — a model that connects climate policy and basic income. 🌍

Social and climate justice can (and should) go hand in hand. Thank you to Suplicy and his team for the warm welcome!

In Kenya, Equal Right is piloting the Climate Commons Fund with Il Ngwesi Conservancy, combining cash transfers+ ecological bonuses to reward conservation.

We’ve kicked off community engagements for the Climate Commons Fund (CCF) in Il Ngwesi, Kenya.
The community sees CCF as a way to:
Lead in conservation & decision-making
Receive direct support to meet basic needs

Community-led conservation + UBI = a win for people & planet

We are honored to welcome Eduardo Suplicy — former senator and current São Paulo state representative — to our International Advisory Board.
A lifelong advocate for Basic Income and social justice, he has been a historic voice in Brazil and worldwide. 🌍✨

4/ We were also honored to be joined by our partners Cool Earth & Ketty Marcelo (OMIAASEC & ONAMIAP), who shared lessons from their conservation basic income pilot in Peru. 🌍

3/ Special thanks to Rep. Alirio Uribe
for his leadership in putting basic income on the legislative agenda. 🙌

This isn’t just a pilot.
It’s a step toward a permanent policy that could deliver basic income nationwide. 💚

2/ As we prepare for the pilot’s start in 2026, we’re exploring how basic income can:
✅ Support peacebuilding
✅ Spur climate action
✅ Create a pathway to lasting change in Colombia

1/ Equal Right was in the Colombian Congress today 🇨🇴 to launch our Basic Income for Peace with Nature pilot.

The event brought together voices from politics, government, civil society, philanthropy, academia & Indigenous communities.

4/ Conservation should never be a burden. It should be an opportunity for communities to thrive with nature. 🌿

#CommunityConservation #IndigenousLeadership

3/ Unconditional cash transfers are one tool to shift power: giving families a guaranteed income so they can meet basic needs with dignity, while protecting ecosystems. 💸

2/ For too long, outside forces shaped conservation, sidelining local knowledge. But communities are the true custodians of nature — with traditions and responsibility no outside agency can replicate. 🌱

1/ Conservation must be led by the communities who live closest to the land.

On Sept 13, Equal Right met with Il Ngwesi Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya — a community-owned conservancy led by the Maasai people. 🌍 #ClimateCommonsFund

Our NHS is crumbling, energy bills keep rising and the climate crisis is a bigger threat than ever. But billionaires keep getting richer.

It’s time to tax the super-rich and #MakeThemPay.

20 September, central London. Join the National Demonstration.
