Pivoting Out of Poverty: The Economic Impact
“It seems too good to be true, but a program that started in Mississippi – right here in Jackson – has now spread to other areas across the nation. Magnolia Mother’s Trust gives African American mother’s living in poverty $1,000 dollars a month for a year with no strings attached and no taxpayer money. Magnolia Mother’s Trust started in 2018. That year, 20 mothers participated. In 2020, 110; in 2021 and 2022, 100 Moms. In just three years over 320 Moms have been helped with Guaranteed Income.”
