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.

Strikes planned by London Underground drivers over the next few weeks have been called off to allow talks to be held over a pay row.

Members of the Aslef union were to stage 24-hour walkouts a week today and on the following Friday.

The drivers went on strike on Boxing Day in a long-running dispute over bank holiday pay, disrupting Tube services.

A union spokesman said the action had been suspended so that talks could be held to try to reach a resolution.
