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.Denmark will hold a referendum on the European Union's Amsterdam Treaty on 28 May next year - after a decision on which nations will be in the first wave of Europe's economic and monetary union.
Prime Minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen announced the referendum at the opening of parliament's autumn session and urged Euro-sceptic Danes to accept the revisions to the Maastricht Treaty contained in the Amsterdam package.
Danish voters remain deeply suspicious. A poll in September showed 44 per cent in favour against 34 per cent immediately after the Amsterdam summit.
