Magnolia Mother’s Trust replaces an adversarial system of welfare with one that trusts mothers to do what is best for their families.

Guaranteed income programs like the Magnolia Mother’s Trust focus on low-income Black women to address the deeply entrenched economic inequities caused by systemic racism and sexism.

The recent rolling back of Roe v. Wade will hurt low-income Black women in conservative states like Mississippi the most. This is in addition to the cruelty of state legislators who refused to expand postpartum Medicaid access earlier this year.

A guaranteed income program with no strings attached—and free of capitalist talking points—is changing the lives of mothers in Mississippi.

The first few years of a child’s life are pivotal and new research has found that a guaranteed income may actually help brain development during this time.
