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.

The Global Climate Strike, an international event which aims to take a stand against the climate crisis, has begun.

Thousands of people across the world have taken the day off from school and work to highlight the detrimental impact climate change is having on the world.

The Global Climate Strike consists of two days of organised strikes – on Friday 20 September, days before the United Nations Climate Action Summit, and on Friday 27 September.

With environmental activist Greta Thunberg at the helm of the movement, protesters have demonstrated their ingenuity with a range of creative, eye-catching and bold signs.

From Sydney to Nicosia to New Delhi, click through the gallery above to see all the best signs from Global Climate Strike protests around the world.
