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.Watch as New Zealand’s former prime minister Jacinda Ardern gives one final speech before quitting parliament for good.
Ms Ardern stepped down as New Zealand’s leader earlier this year, in a surprise decision that brought ally Chris Hipkins to power as head of the centre-left Labour Party.
The former prime minister, who guided New Zealand through the Covid pandemic, has already said she will not miss the “weight” of being the prime minister as she takes up the unpaid role of leading the country’s efforts against violent online extremism.
She will serve as a special envoy for the Christchurch Call, a global initiative she founded in 2019 along with French president Emmanuel Macron to bring together countries and technology companies to combat online extremism.
