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 major London Underground line was suspended today because of a 24-hour strike.

The Victoria Line was halted at 9pm last night by a walk-out of members of the Rail Maritime and Transport union. There have been several disputes with the union complaining that its members have been harassed.

Transport for London says tickets are being accepted on buses and overground trains. All other London Tube lines were this morning reporting a good service.
