basics for all
Mission
Basics For All is an effort to get more people to demand universal services for all, regardless of economic privilege.
We provide a variety of goods featuring calls for Medicare for All, Housing for All, Broadband for All, and other universal essentials.
In addition to helping start these conversations, we pledge to donate no less than 10% of all profits to organizations providing the essential services we demand.
about us
We at Basics For All believe that all people should be guaranteed the services which directly impact their ability to have the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness contemplated at the time of the United States’ independence. Although the “land of the free” remains far from it, we believe the only way to ensure freedom and prosperity for all is to significantly lower the cost of survival. As long as there’s a profit incentive behind people’s access to the basic means of survival, there will never be true equality.
Every day people’s rights are violated. Every day people’s freedoms are taken away. While the Constitution may now protect people regardless of their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or other characteristic recognized after people demanded justice following a gross denial of their basic rights, more and more we see our freedoms being narrowly defined instead of liberally granted.
National conversations ebb and flow, one day recognizing how people are disadvantaged by intersectional and systemic issues and the next amplifying the voice of those people’s oppressors. Between the powerful’s control over information and our shortening attention spans, it’s become harder and harder to start and maintain a real conversation around issues that impact us all. Honestly, sometimes we’re just too tired to have those conversations.
Basics For All is an effort to ease the burden of starting these necessary conversations. Our designs boldly state that Housing, Healthcare, Broadband, and other basic necessities of modern survival should be guaranteed to all.
