Police launch fresh appeal over missing teenager one year on from disappearance
"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."
"It comes as The Independent, alongside the charity Missing People, hopes to help missing young people by aiming to raise 165,000 to launch SafeCall a free new service for the 70,000 children reported missing each year to find support and safety no matter what. Donate here or text SAFE to 70577 to give 10 to Missing People enough for one child to get help."
