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.

Post workers' leaders are split over fresh strikes

according to signs emerging last night. They are divided over whether to name dates for fresh industrial action following the 24-hour strikes already scheduled for tomorrow and next Monday. Faced with the threat of the suspension of the Royal Mail's letters monopoly, the postal executive of the Communication Workers' Union adjourned a meeting until today. Some members want further strikes on Fridays and Mondays, but others argue that the latest peace formula from management over their productivity proposals should be put to ballot among 130,000 postal workers.
