"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."
"It's Monday lunchtime, we should be busy with queues but we have just one customer inside. Traders in London say they are feeling the brunt of the huge Tube strike this week, as economists forecast the union action could deliver a 230m blow to the capital's economy, with small businesses hardest hit. The walkout over pay and conditions by Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) members started on Sunday, but it was on Monday morning when the city felt the impact, with few services operating across the Underground."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, including investigations and documentaries that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations enable continued deployment of journalists, allow reporters to speak to both sides, and sustain a paywall-free model funded by voluntary contributions from those who can afford it. A Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) walkout over pay and conditions began on Sunday and left few Underground services on Monday, causing longer journeys, increased bus queues, widespread remote working and reported sharp drops in customers for small businesses, with economists estimating a 230m blow to the capital's economy.
