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.There is less than one day left to apply to run the Big Half, London’s new official half-marathon, on The Felix Project’s team.
The 10 The Independent and Evening Standard readers joining Team Felix on 4 March will be helping hungry children in London.
As part of a special Team Felix package, the 10 runners will meet Sir Mo Farah, Britain’s most successful distance runner of all time. They will also benefit from tailored online training from coach Martin Yelling, a free sports massage, and access to a dedicated cheering spot for friends and family on the day.
Money raised will help The Felix Project put free, fresh food on market stalls in 120 London schools, alleviating food poverty that leaves 70,000 children hungry in the capital every night.
