"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 just 18, Dillon Duffy felt trapped. He was 4,000 in debt, overwhelmed and convinced he had no way out. In desperation, the teenager took out loan after loan, with each one leaving him owing more. It began to feel as if the only way out was to disappear completely. So Dillon made the drastic decision to board a train to London with no intention to ever return."
The Independent is raising £165,000 to launch SafeCall, a free service to help missing children access support and safety regardless of circumstances. Donations fund journalists to report on issues ranging from reproductive rights to climate change and to investigate financial and political stories. The outlet remains accessible without paywalls so reporting reaches readers across the political spectrum. At 18, Dillon Duffy accrued roughly £4,000 in debt after beginning online gambling at 17, took multiple loans, felt trapped and overwhelmed, and boarded a train to London to escape; debt can be a significant factor in children going missing.
