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 future of the controversial Jillings report into widespread child abuse in children's homes Clwyd, North Wales is likely to be decided this week. William Hague, the Secretary of State for Wales, is expected to meet council representatives on Thursday to discuss their concerns about finding a publishable version of the report.
He told the councils which took over from Clwyd County Council after Welsh local government reorganisation that he wanted them to find a way of publishing the report. Clwyd refused to publish the report and the successor councils told him of concern that if they make any changes to the report, which names a number of people, it will lose credibility. The study one of the most detailed inquiries into allegations of child abuse calls for a judicial inquiry into what went on in North Wales.
