"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."
"A bid by Freemasonry bodies to bring a legal challenge against the Metropolitan Police over its decision to force officers and staff to declare whether they are or have been Freemasons has been thrown out by a High Court judge Mr Justice Chamberlain said on Tuesday that the Met's decision serves a legitimate aim, maintaining and enhancing public trust in policing, and is proportionate."
"It came after the Met announced in December that membership of the Freemasons or similar organisations would be added to its declarable associations policy. This means officers and staff were required to declare membership past or present of any organisation that is hierarchical, has confidential membership and requires members to support and protect each other. About 400 Met officers and staff have already made declarations under the policy."
The Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while keeping content freely accessible without paywalls. The outlet cites investigative work on Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', about American women fighting for reproductive rights as examples of that reporting. A High Court judge dismissed a legal challenge by Freemasonry bodies and two serving police officers against the Metropolitan Police's addition of Freemasonry to its declarable associations policy. The judge said the policy serves a legitimate aim of maintaining public trust and is proportionate, and about 400 Met officers and staff have already made declarations under the policy.
