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.

Worker cleared of ward sabotage

A former maintenance worker at Guy's was cleared yesterday of sabotaging life support systems at the London hospital.

Anthony McGrory, 34, from Croydon in south London, had denied switching off machinery controlling the supply of heat, air and water to wards including the paediatric unit after a Christmas party in 1994.

The Old Bailey was told that McGrory, a father of three, had acted out of revenge after being made redundant eight months earlier.
