- Humanity Forward, non-profit organization created by Andrew Yang W, dedicated to promoting the ideas he campaigned on during his run for President in the 2020 election, such as UBI and data privacy. The non-profit will also seek to engage and activate new voters while supporting like-minded down-ballot candidates, following the model of the pro-Bernie Sanders 501(c)4 Our Revolution. Yang also announced that the organization would give away $500,000 in UBI to the residents of a (currently unspecified) town in New York to demonstrate the benefits of UBI.
