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.

A FEMALE police officer who brought a successful victimisation case against Lincolnshire Police has resigned and will transfer next week to the Humberside force, which investigated her employers.

Inspector Cydena Fleming (pictured) was suspended on full pay for two years pending disciplinary charges brought by Lincolnshire Police after she was caught trying to secretly tape-record colleagues.

An industrial tribunal condemned senior police officers for a "deplorable" attitude to equality, and all charges against Inspector Fleming were dropped. Two days ago she arrived at Lincolnshire HQ to receive back her warrant card and uniform.
