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.

Royal Mail creates 700 jobs in North-west

Royal Mail is to create more than 700 jobs at a sorting centre at Crewe in Cheshire. The pounds 10.5m complex will open in 1999 and will handle a predicted doubling in mail over 10 years in the North-west. The scheme is part of a pounds 64m Royal Mail investment in the region. Ken Barker, Royal Mail general manager, said: "By expanding now we will secure the future of the business and safeguard the interests of our 20,000 employees in the North-west."
