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 Department of the Environment last week announced that new waste management licensing regulations, due to come into force on 1st April, have been postponed for two months. Friends of the Earth says it now expects the DoE to abandon related proposals, enabling waste regulatory authorities to clean up disused landfill dumps at the owners' expense, following strong resistance by waste contractors. The DoE says that only minor amendments will be made to draft regulations.
