"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."
"A mother-of-three was left homeless after an electrical fire caused by an exploding modified e-bike destroyed her family home. Emma Wills from Chilworth in Surrey was left heartbroken when the fire destroyed her possessions and killed one of her beloved kittens. She had gone away to Cornwall for the night in January and a family friend visiting her home charged the bike, which had recently been modified using a conversion kit bought from an online marketplace."
"It hadn't been on charge for long, no more than 20 minutes, but it went up so quickly and destroyed everything, Ms Wills said. It had exploded and left a hole in the living room floor, and the fire wrecked the kitchen and my bedroom. The house was so unsafe we couldn't live there anymore, she added. Fire cause by exploding e-bike destroys family home (Emma Wills)"
The Independent requests donations to fund reporters covering reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and to continue sending journalists to cover both sides of stories. Funding supports investigative work into topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and documentary production like 'The A Word'. The outlet positions itself as trusted across the political spectrum and maintains free access to reporting by relying on donations rather than paywalls. A Surrey mother-of-three, Emma Wills, lost her home and a kitten after an exploding modified e-bike charged by a visitor ignited a rapidly spreading electrical fire. Conversion kits bought online can contain substandard components that pose serious fire risks, experts warn.
