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.

In late-April, plans for Silvertown’s £3.5bn redevelopment were given the go-ahead. It is a major regeneration project that The Silvertown Partnership hopes will create a new piece of London.

We spent a day wandering around the site to see how this iconic area of East London will be transformed.

In the next decade, over 20,000 jobs will be created as five million square-feet of commercial space and up to 3,000 residential units are built.

The Silvertown Partnership are hoping to create an environment where people can “live, work and play”.
