| Beyond Charity: Pope Francis Boosts the Universal Basic Wage |
April 17, 2020 |
|
On Easter Sunday, Pope Francis encouraged social movements to advocate for a universal basic wage for those whose work often goes overlooked -- the caregivers, grocery clerks, truck drivers, custodians and more. The idea is not a new one, but it is gaining currency in the coronavirus pandemic when the labor of “essential workers” is undervalued. What is a universal basic wage and why is it being championed by one of the world’s most popular religious leaders? Will Francis’ suggestion be taken up by others in the Catholic church and beyond?

Margaret McMullan was visiting Israel’s Yad Vashem museum when she discovered a Jewish relative killed in the Holocaust. “You must remember this man,” an archivist there told her. “No one has ever properly remembered him.” That started a decade-long journey that took her from her Mississippi home to Hungary and back and resulted in her memoir, Where the Angels Lived: One Family’s Story of Exile, Loss and Return.
Margaret McMullan, author of nine books including Where the Angels Lived: One Family’s Story of Exile, Loss and Return. You can see photographs of the Jewish family she discovered on her website.
