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.

Planned strikes by drivers at East Midlands Trains have been called off after "constructive" talks aimed at resolving a row over pensions.

Members of the Aslef union were due to take industrial action on Saturday and Monday (June 23 and 25).

The union said constructive talks have been held with the company which it hopes will lead to a satisfactory conclusion to the dispute.

The drivers have previously taken six days of strike action.
