US Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang in Boston

THE BOSTON FUTURIST SOCIETY INVITES YOU TO A SPECIAL CONVERSATION WITH 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, ANDREW YANG.
Andrew Yang is an entrepreneur and author running for President as a Democrat in 2020. In 2011 he founded Venture for America, a national entrepreneurship fellowship, and spent the last 6 years creating jobs in cities like Cleveland, Detroit, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh. When Andrew realized that new technology like artificial intelligence threatened to eliminate one-third of all American jobs, he knew he had to do something. In The War on Normal People (2018), he explains the mounting crisis and makes the case for implementing a universal basic income: $1,000 a month for every American adult, no strings attached.
