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.Thousands of Mexicans began a national day of protest yesterday to condemn the recent massacre of 45 Indian refugees in the troubled southern state of Chiapas.
Some 5,000 Tzotzil and Tzeltal Indians, descendants of the once-powerful Maya, blocked roads and shouted anti-government slogans in the highland Chiapas city of Ocosingo on the national day of protest to condemn the 22 December killings. Some of the Indians shouted "Army of murderers," at a nearby army checkpoint near this city, one of the Chiapas gateways down to the Lacandon jungle.
