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.A five-year-old boy was reunited with his parents yesterday after they accidentally left him at a petrol station.
The couple drove off separately from the Tesco's garage in Dunmow, Essex without realising that their son, Kyle Collins, had gone off to buy some sweets. The boy had slipped out of Mrs Collins' car while she paid for petrol, and when she returned she presumed he had got in her husband's car which had already left. The couple, from Elsenham, drove for more than hour before they heard a police appeal on BBC Radio Essex alerting them to the situation.
