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.Jeremy Corbyn and some other MPs were spotted wearing a white ribbon on their jackets at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday.
But what do the ribbons mean?
The white ribbon is part of a campaign to end violence against women - known as the White Ribbon Campaign.
The campaign is organised by men and encourages people to speak out against violence against women by men - especially domestic abuse.
"Violence against women happens more than you think. It’s mostly committed by men. We won’t stand for it," the group's website says.
"We’re a group of men who know that there’s never an excuse for violence against women. We pledge never to condone it, or to stand by when we know it’s happening. We’re part of a worldwide movement."
The campaign has collected over 23,000 pledges of support to "never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women".
The White Ribbon Campaign is in its 10th anniversary and has cross party support.
