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.Work begins today on demolishing the school gym where 16 children and their teacher were massacred by a gunman last month. Bereaved parents of the Dunblane primary schoolchildren, most of whom were aged five, had the final say in deciding that the building should be pulled down.
The work will be completed well before pupils return on Monday from their Easter holiday. Meanwhile the Dunblane inquiry chaired by the leading Scottish judge Lord Cullen will hold a preliminary hearing in Stirling on 1 May. It will deal with procedural issues ahead of the full inquiry, which is likely to start in late May or early June and last about four weeks.
