We have the immense sad to announce the death of Laurent Rebeaud on the night of Dec. 10 to 11, 2015, following an accident. Lawrence worked for a year with us as a member of the coordinating team for the federal initiative. His commitment was most recently illustrated by the filing of a premise to the City of Lausanne for the establishment of a pilot basic income.

It was especially a journalist, a founding member of the Swiss Green Party, Municipal Councillor in Lausanne, 1985-1994 National Advisor and musician. It was a rich personality, very competent and at the same time, modest, warm and accessible. He was well soon became a dear friend to many of us and leaves a void that the sacred will be difficult to fill. We are thinking with his family, friends and our friends the Greens Lausanne with whom we share the mourning.
