THE CALIFORNIA ABUNDANT BIRTH PROJECT NOW AVAILABLE TO RIVERSIDE COUNTY RESIDENTS

The Abundant Birth Project (ABP) is a guaranteed income program that provides cash during pregnancy. It was developed by Expecting Justice and the community to make birthing healthier and safer for the people facing the greatest risk during their pregnancy journey. ABP provides cash with no strings attached as a strategy to prevent stress during pregnancy. Research shows this is likely to prevent babies from being born too early or too small and can also protect the health of the mother (or birthing parent). By providing unconditional cash, mamas have resources to support themselves and their families, and babies have the chance at a healthy start. The Abundant Birth Project is expanding to four CA counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Los Angeles, and Riverside.

If selected, participants will receive the following monthly cash gift, based on county of residence:

• Alameda: $967
• Contra Costa: $1,000
• Los Angeles: $807
• Riverside: $616
