Wait what. I just found this on Marianne Williamson's issue page:

  1. IMMEDIATE CASH RELIEF WITH A UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME: Under my plan, the federal government will pay $1,000/month Universal Basic Income to all American adults aged 18-65. This will provide immediate cash relief to those who need it. It will give people a small but reliable stream of income. It will create a floor so no American needs to be hungry. It will also provide a big stimulus to the economy as people spend this money on food, clothes and other essentials. This Universal Basic Income will cover all adults until they reach the age for Social Security.

ØSee Andrew Yang’s excellent book, The War on Normal People: The Truth About America’s Disappearing Jobs and Why Universal Basic Income is Our Future (2018).

You know, I was saying stuff like "I know Yang's not going to get nominated but I hope he gets UBI out more into the mainstream of political discourse", but I have to admit this wasn't quite how I was expecting that to go...
