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.UNSEASONAL WEATHER yesterday wrecked a visit by the QE2 to a Scottish town. The liner was moored off Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, for the day to coincide with the town's Scottish Week celebrations.
Tourist bosses had hoped the passengers would visit the town but choppy waters and winds reaching force six to seven thwarted their plans when the ship's captain cancelled all sailings to and from the shore due to the conditions.
