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 nationwide campaign that aims to find the country's noisiest home was launched at the House of Commons yesterday.
MPs and local authority noise pollution officers are being urged to submit case studies to the Noise Abatement Society, as part of a joint initiative with specialist window company James Harcourt, which hopes to raise awareness of noise pollution.
Peter Wakeham, director of the Noise Abatement Society, said: "Government statistics show that 32 million people across the UK are exposed to high levels of noise.
"As road, rail and air traffic continues to grow, we are taking calls from increasingly desperate homeowners looking for a solution to this intolerable problem."
