Your support helps us to tell the story

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 policy of attacking soft targets is one which the West Mercia Constabulary employs constantly. A man with known social problems was observed by police going into the gents' toilets in Malvern. They waited, on their own admission for "two or three minutes", and then went in and found him smoking cannabis. He was fined pounds 160 for possessing pounds 1 of the drug. Never do we see or hear of heroin, coke, or crack being discovered - always vulnerable people who are recreational users of cannabis.
