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.An alliance of opposition groups has urged its supporters to vote No in the referendum on a disputed constitution, but said it may still call a boycott if conditions are not met.
Hamdeen Sabahi, a leader of the opposition National Salvation Front, said the alliance would urge supporters to boycott the vote if judges did not oversee the ballot and the state did not provide security at polling stations. The front did not, however, call for civil disobedience, such as general strikes, to escalate the recent mass protests against President Mohamed Morsi.
The major judges' union has said its members would boycott the referendum and abstain from their traditional role of oversight at the polls.
