About This Report
“Uplifting Immigrant Survivors: A Report on the Project Empower Guaranteed Income
Pilot” was created prior to our rebrand and reflects work conducted under our previous
name, My New Red Shoes.
In May 2025, we transitioned to our new identity — mBOLDen Change. While our name
has changed, our mission remains rooted in the same core values: equity, dignity, and a
bold commitment to advancing opportunity for children, families, and communities
impacted by economic inequality and injustice.
This report documents a pivotal chapter in that ongoing journey. Whether alleviating the
impact of poverty through guaranteed income or meeting urgent needs through
emergency cash transfers, our solutions are co-created with partners and program
participants.
As mBOLDen Change, we carry this commitment forward — continuing to back bold,
community-led solutions that center those most impacted and working to build the
systems and support structures that equity demands.
