Meeting: Ken & Liam — Event Prep & Misc

Date: 2026-04-02 (morning) Attendees: Ken Yang, Liam Wilkinson (“UBI”)

Summary

Ken and Liam discussed progress on AI activist campaign, spam issues, NationBuilder migration, and logistics for upcoming Wednesday meetup (66 RSVPs). Liam proposed op-ed idea about Canada’s National Energy Program (NEP) and sovereign wealth fund angle on energy policy.

Key Points

  • AI activist petition page staged and ready to push live; homepage entry point needed
  • 500 suspicious spam sign-ups in past week — likely due to phone number on website
  • Action Network migration nearly complete for UBI Works; BICN entanglement complex
  • Action Network may offer enterprise-level support despite not paying for it
  • UN endorsed land value tax unanimously — team noting they’re “overlooking” this as content
  • Meetup: 66 registered, expecting 30-50 attendees
  • Event timing: doors 6 PM, event 6:30 PM; possible breakfast next morning with Kareem and Frank

Liam’s Op-Ed Idea — NEP / Energy Policy

  • Liam proposed framing: Canada’s oil revenues + NEP-style program = stabilized gas prices, end to boom-bust oil cycle
  • Angle: short-sighted vs. long-sighted decisions; what the NEP could have delivered today
  • NEP (1980s) scrapped due to political/economic alienation especially in Alberta
  • Potential collaboration with Andrew Schaaf from the Savvy Fund
  • Ken to make a card to “immortalize” the UN Land Value Tax Endorsement as content asset

  • Ken: Final requests to Squarespace dev for AI campaign
  • Ken: Remove phone number from website (spam reduction)
  • Ken: Send update email to Andrea and Chris Board on RSVP numbers
  • Ken: Coordinate early dinner Wednesday ~4:30-5:00 PM; confirm timing with Frank
