Oxfam pushes for new supporters
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.Oxfam haslaunched a campaign to speed up the fight against world poverty by calling on a million people to pledge their support over the next 100 days.
Supporters can join the campaign, called "I'm in", by donating money, campaigning for change or by working in an Oxfam shop. In addition to a national advertising campaign, the charity has urged its half a million supporters and 22,000 volunteers to recruit friends and family.
Adrian Lovett, the campaigns director at Oxfam, said yesterday: "This is the biggest target we have ever set ourselves but we know that there are millions of people in the UK who believe that world poverty can be overcome. 2005 was an incredible year and shows us what we can do when people work together. We want 'I'm in' to build on this legacy and take forward people's desire for justice."
Oxfam operates in more than 70 countries all over the world and its work includes saving lives through emergency response, long-term development programmes and campaigning.
