On March 21st, 2022, Michelle Hammond and Melody Webb Esq. testified before the DC City Council’s Committee on Business & Economic Development. They advocated for a $13.5 million investment to fund guaranteed income programs that would provide $500 per month to 750 DC residents.
Their testimonies highlight the transformative impact of direct cash support on financial stability, dignity, and opportunity for low-income families. The proposal aims to build on the success of pilot programs and position DC as a leader in economic justice and equity.
