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 death of a policeman, for nearly 100 years the only unsolved murder of a Metropolitan police officer, was marked yesterday with the unveiling of a new memorial. A simple black slate plaque, engraved with gold lettering, was unveiled to the memory of PC Frederick Atkins, 23, on the wall outside the police station in New Malden High Street, 115 years after he was shot by a burglar.
His death sparked such public outrage that extra trains had to be laid to carry more than 2,000 mourners to his funeral at St Mary's Church, Walton, his home town. But despite a vast manhunt, nobody was ever charged.
