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.Rush-hour traffic was held up by a cycling demonstration involving more than 120 riders in central London yesterday, writes Martin Whitfield.
It was held up last month and will be on the last Friday of every month, according to Critical Mass, a movement of cycling campaigners and environmentalists. Similar rides took place in a dozen cities including Manchester, Cardiff and Glasgow. More are expected next month.
Critical Mass campaigns for better facilities for cyclists, fewer cars and less pollution.
Patrick Field, a self-confessed cycling fanatic, said: "By the middle of the summer I wouldn't be surprised to see the numbers in four figures. We are saying `we are having a good time, what's your problem?' "
