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.An expected "explosion" of 150,000 new jobs in London in the run-up to the millennium will pose a serious challenge to the capital's transport system, a new report warned yesterday.
The work would be created in information technology, telecommunications, finance and business services, said the London Chamber of Commerce study. "These figures are wonderful news, but there is a sting in the tail," Simon Sperryn, chief executive of the organisation, said. "By the year 2000, London Underground will be near breaking point ... and London's roads will be approaching gridlock. This is insanity."
