The Independent appeals for donations to support on-the-ground reporting across issues like reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, funding documentaries and investigations while avoiding paywalls. The outlet emphasizes availability of quality journalism to all, funded by those who can afford it. In the UK, the number of asylum seekers housed in government hotels rose in the first year under Labour, intensifying pressure on Sir Keir Starmer. A High Court ruling banned use of The Bell Hotel in Epping after lawyers said it became a feeding ground for unrest following violent protests. Home Office figures show a record 111,000 people claimed asylum in the past year as small boats continue to cross the Channel, prompting criticism from politicians including Nigel Farage and Chris Philp.
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.
The number of asylum seekers housed in government hotels has risen in the first year under Labour, piling further pressure on Sir Keir Starmer to get a grip on the growing number of people making dangerous Channel crossings. It follows a High Court ruling on Tuesday that banned the use of The Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, for asylum seekers after lawyers argued it had become a feeding ground for unrest following a string of violent protests at the site.
