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.Crucial decisions in the future of the UK’s relationship with the European Union (EU) are to be made this autumn, as the 29 March 2019 divorce date draws ever closer.
Brexit minister Dominic Raab said he was “stubbornly optimistic” and “as confident as before, if not more” that there will be a deal, while Theresa May has insisted she will “not be pushed” into compromises not in the national interest.
But some are not so sure about the Government's claims.
Britain’s third biggest union, the GMB, backed a second referendum, saying the promises made during the first vote were “not the reality we are facing”.
The Independent revealed this week a major UK study had found more than 2.6 million people have abandoned their support for Brexit and now back staying in the EU.
If those who have changed their minds had voted to stay in the EU in 2016, the referendum would have delivered a clear Remain verdict.
The figures strengthen the argument for a second referendum, amid warnings Brexit will seriously harm the economy.
The Independent has launched a petition for a Final Say vote, which has been signed by almost 750,000 people.
Whether you support leaving or remaining in the EU, you can call for a poll on the final Brexit deal by signing the appeal and by attending The Independent and the People’s Vote March in central London on 20 October.
To register your interest, and make it clear you support another vote, sign up to the march on the event page.
