“I’m proud to join with my fellow mayors and happy to see support coming from Senator Cooney to provide our families with access to a guaranteed income,” said Mayor Warren. “We can now move forward quickly on the commitment we made as members of Mayor’s for a Guaranteed Income. I am looking forward to the first public meeting of our Reparations and Universal Basic Income Exploratory Committee next week so we can begin talking about how to make this a reality in Rochester.”

The exploratory committee will review existing reparations pilots in other cities across the country to see how similar programs can be developed for Rochester.
