"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."
"Amanda Jane Heather, who is leading a petition which has more than 200 signatures, said: We cannot, in good conscience, uphold a policy that contradicts established safeguarding research, the lived experience of our members, and the inclusive ethos we were trained to deliver. Volunteers are taking this step not out of frustration alone, but out of deep concern. Girlguiding confirmed it will now only allow those recorded female at birth to join the organisation"
The Independent sends reporters to cover developing stories across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech. The organisation investigates topics ranging from PAC financials to documentaries about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and keeps content free of paywalls, funded instead by voluntary support. Girlguiding announced a membership policy limiting entry to those recorded female at birth, affecting around 300,000 UK members across Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers. Hundreds of volunteers have threatened to resign, saying they were not consulted and that the policy contradicts safeguarding research, members' lived experience and an inclusive ethos. A petition led by Amanda Jane Heather has gathered more than 200 signatures.
