Supervisors in Marin County, California, plan to contribute funds to a universal basic income program that restricts initial participants on the basis of race and sex. The program will be done in conjunction with the Marin Community Foundation.

According to the Marin Independent Journal, the foundation will spend $3 million in order to provide $1,000 to 125 low-income women each month for the duration of two years. The women must also have a child who is under 18 years old. The program will also be restricted to “non-White women,” per the outlet. The county supervisors have approved the use of $400,000 to be contributed to the initiative.
