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.

Holidaymakers will face long delays today as they head back from their short breaks after the Bank Holiday and can expect severe disruption tomorrow due to rail strikes. AA Roadwatch warned motorists to stagger their journeys home to prevent long traffic jams clogging the motorway network.

The exodus to the coast on Friday saw lengthy delays on all major routes to holiday destinations and tomorrow's threatened rail strike will bring little comfort to those heading back to work after the holiday.

Poor weather blighted the weekend as rain swept many areas and winds lowered temperatures.
