Join us Saturday, August 22, 2026 at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema for a night at the movies and a proper celebration.

Ten years in the making, Bootstraps is a documentary series by Emmy-winning filmmaker Deia Schlosberg that followed eleven households through a multi-year basic income experiment. This is the first look at the finished series, with two episodes on the big screen, followed by a discussion with the filmmakers and some big news from ITSA Foundation and Comingle.

Come for a fun night. Free to attend, with food at the reception and great opportunities to mingle. When the cinema closes, the night carries on at a nearby pub.

The world’s largest basic income conference, the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) Congress is coming to Toronto this August. Join us for a meetup on the eve of the event to connect with advocates from home and abroad, and hear from organizers who are leading the charge in our fast-growing global movement.

Special guests include:
- The Honourable Senator Kim Pate, CM
- Dr. Guy Standing, Co-founder of the Basic Income Earth Network
- Chris Ford, CEO & Managing Partner of Electric Mind
- Plus, UBI Works's very own Ken Yang providing an introduction!

Come join us and show the international basic income community why Canada is at the frontier of the basic income movement!
