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.Good Day for Warren Jackson, a goalkeeper from Swindon whose career had been threatened by his inability to find a pair of football boots to fit his size 17 feet. "The boots I've got on at the moment are falling apart," he explained. "They are an old pair of size 16s that have been stretched and repaired after I split them." Now sporting goods makers Umbro have said they will look into making a pair of size 17s specially for him. "I can't believe it, I'm so grateful," Jackson said.
Bad Day for ostriches, as the sheriff of Maricopa County, Phoenix, announced that he would be feeding ostrich and emu meat to jail inmates after receiving a donation of nearly 40 birds from a local ostrich farm. "I almost hate giving inmates such a fine quality meat product, but at least it's free," he said.
Honest Day for Cambodia, as civilian and military police were on duty during school exams to guard against a repeat of the blatant cheating that occurred last year when some parents threw crib sheets through school windows, and others broadcast answers through loudspeakers.
