Support journalism that stands for women.

The Guardian is committed to covering the renewed assault on women's rights in America. Today, we're seeking contributions for the Mother Load, our new series exploring why it’s harder to be a mother in the US than in any other developed country. From shamefully short maternity leave to crushing childcare costs, from rising maternal death rates to an uneven division of household chores, we’ll use the Guardian's global perspective to illustrate how America is an outlier – and find solutions.

We’re asking our readers to fund this focused four-month reporting project to build community and inspire activism. This struggle needs more visibility – and you can help. Together, we can force change.
