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 Unite union official at the heart of the Grangemouth dispute has resigned from his job at the plant.

Stevie Deans was investigated by operator Ineos following his involvement in the Falkirk Labour candidate row.

The company said in a statement: “[We were] due to meet with Mr Deans tomorrow but have now received his resignation.”

Ineos had threatened to close the oil refinery but reached a deal with the union.
