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 new-look summer drink-drive campaign will be launched this week by the Government - without any television commercials. Although the usual amount of money - pounds 1m - is being spent on the campaign, the message will be driven home by radio and posters.
"The idea is to alert people on their way to the pub who will hear anti- drink messages on the radio and see posters by the roadside," said a Department of Transport spokesman. The campaign, which is aimed primarily at 17-24- year-olds, will be launched in London on Tuesday by Transport Minister Steven Norris. The posters will show pictures of the same character who featured in last Christmas's drink-drive TV adverts. He was seen being fed by his mother after being terribly injured after drinking and driving.
