"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."

"Bridget Phillipson, who is in the race to succeed Angela Rayner as deputy leader of the party, argued there is absolutely more to do when it comes to tackling child poverty, adding that she will "make it happen". Speaking on the fringes of the Labour conference in Liverpool, Ms Phillipson said: "I am determined and will guarantee by the end of this parliament that child poverty will come down. And the two child limit, yes, is definitely on the table."

The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech and documentary work such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes the need for on‑the‑ground reporters and asks for donations to continue sending journalists to speak to both sides. The Independent does not use paywalls and argues quality journalism should be available to everyone, funded by those who can afford it. The education secretary said lifting the two‑child benefit cap is "definitely on the table". Bridget Phillipson pledges to reduce child poverty and to reconsider the two‑child limit.
