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 traffic warden who exposed a "clandestine quota system" for issuing tickets has won a claim of unfair dismissal against his bosses.

Hakim Berkani, 45, claimed he was dismissed for his opposition to a quota system at parking enforcement contractors NSL, which set its wardens a minimum of 10 tickets per shift. Judge Burns ruled in favour of Mr Berkani at the London Central Employment Tribunal.
