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.PLANS by the Henry Moore Foundation to build a visitors' centre at the sculptor's former home at Perry Green, Hertfordshire, have been rejected by Michael Howard, Secretary of State for the Environment, after a public inquiry. The centre was designed by Jeremy Dixon and Edward Jones, architects of the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, which opens next month. The Department of the Environment said that it was concerned at the possible increase in traffic 'on the substandard rural road network'. The foundation says it is now considering building a new road.
