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.

WORK began this week on Nicholas Grimshaw's 'symphony in glass', the pounds 22.5m Combined Operations Centre for British Airways at Heathrow. The development, housing 900 ground staff and more than 10,000 transient personnel, comprises three buildings, linked by glazed walkways, on 10 acres to the north of the airport. Completion is scheduled for 1994.
