Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

ActionAid is launching a new initiative to tackle female poverty and its causes. This project, dubbed the '6 Degrees project', is based on the 'six degrees of separation' theory which says we're no more than six introductions away from any other person on the planet.

6 Degrees is all about connecting women around the world in the fight for equal rights and an end to the violence and discrimination that keeps poor women poor. Currently 70% of the worlds poor are women and girls.
