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.Two pensioners have been evicted from their Leicester council flat in the latest legal action taken against racial harassment. The couple, who were the only white tenants in their building, had displayed racist posters in their windows. Other authorities have taken similar action, but this is believed to be the first instance that racist posters have been accepted as evidence of harassment. The couple are now regarded as intentionally homeless, relieving the authority of any obligation to find alternative accommodation.
