Aja Brown, the mayor of Compton, CA has launched a landmark initiative called the Compton Pledge, which will provide a guaranteed income of recurring cash relief to 800 low-income residents for two years. The program aims to “emphasize guaranteed income as a means of pushing towards economic and racial justice on the pathway to reparations.” The Compton Pledge will begin giving 800 Compton residents cash later in the year.
