In the richest country in the world, no baby should be born into poverty.
In 2022, the United States led all highly-developed nations in child poverty rates. Children born and raised in poverty are exposed to compromised brain development and physical growth, poor living standards, and psychological distress. We can’t accept that, and we won’t.

Dead Last
USA’s rank out of developed nations in money spent on early childhood.
The earliest days of a child’s life are a crucial period of emotional and mental development.
Support during the first 1,000 days of life has the potential to allow an entire generation to separate from the toxic stresses of poverty, break intergenerational cycles, and provide the environment to allow children to grow into healthy adults- physically, financially, and mentally.
The most important thing is that the brain of a child will become exactly what the child was exposed to. It is the mirror to the child’s developmental experience.

We’re giving mothers across the country up to $1,000 every month for three years, with no strings attached.
We provide low-income mothers with cash on a biweekly basis during pregnancy, birth, and the earliest days of their babies’ lives to support healthy development, avoid adverse childhood experiences, and break intergenerational cycles of poverty.
