    No child in the richest country in the world should suffer from the violence of poverty, and no adult should either. That is the promise of a guaranteed income. Check out how we worked towards that vision in 2021.

    Research from the shows expanded recipients experienced greater food security than nonrecipients – we all deserve to live in a country where every child has enough to eat.

    The launch of the New Orleans Program is an exciting moment for our city. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw the number of disconnected youth significantly increase.

    The Office of Youth & Families (OYF) announced the launch of the New Orleans Guaranteed Income Program through a $500,000 grant from Mayors for a Guaranteed Income (MGI). The City of New Orleans is the first recipient of the MGI funding to prioritize payments to young people💛⚜️

    Say it louder 📣 as great as it is to hear about these pilots happening around the country and successfully providing evidence for a , we need a federal policy! S/o all of our mayors pushing for this 🙌🏽

    Guaranteed income for low-income parents is popping up in city after city. (Tell your people!) It's a help, since Biden's child tax credit is gone. But the real goal? National policy

    Guaranteed income can be a tool for health equity, and we’re looking forward to the data and stories that come from Baltimore’s pilot!

    That's right. Baltimore’s guaranteed pilot program will be among the first of its kind to put an emphasis on the mental and physical wellness of recipients. This is crucial as health outcomes are closely tied to financial security.

    At last night's SOTC address, I announced Cambridge is allocating $22M of ARPA funding to provide $500/month in direct cash assistance to families under 200% of the poverty level. It's an investment to put ALL our families on a path to economic security.

    We look forward to conducting an evaluation for the program in Baltimore and many other cities across the country.

    Baltimore's guaranteed income pilot program will provide 200 young parents with an unconditional cash payment of $1,000 per month over two years to provide financial stability, the mayor's office said.

    Mayor been on and has always been a voice for dignity and a guaranteed income. let's go! 🚀

    From the mom forced to quarantine without PTO, to the hotel worker who got the money to fix her car, direct payments are changing the lives of thousands. It's time St. Louis considers a Guaranteed Basic Income program to help lift families out of poverty.
