Include Andrew Yang in the MoveOn Presidential Forum to Be Held on June 1st, 2019

With workforce participation at 63% an all time low since 1977, and 4 million workers in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Wisconsin having lost their jobs form automation we need new ideas to deal with this problem. Andrew Yang is a Presidential Candidate who has widespread grassroots support and is polling higher than many career politicians. He has ideas that could help blunt the impact of automation and AI that will lead to 40% of Americans losing their jobs in the next ten years. Chief among this is the Freedom Dividend which gives $1,000 a month to every American 18 and up unconditionally. This idea, sometimes known as Universal Basic Income, was championed by Thomas Paine, Martin Luther King Jr., and Milton Friedman. More recently Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and even Barack Obama have said we need to carefully consider the concept. Please sign this petition to have Andrew Yang Participate in the Forum.

Why is this important?

I am starting this petition because I believe that Andrew Yang's ideas are important, and I have recently been effected by company layoffs, caused by the variables previously mentioned.
