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.Fishing boats blockading the port of Liverpool yesterday in a further attempt to protest at EC fishing regulations and fish imports. A flotilla of 35 trawlers from as far away as Grimsby, Fleetwood, Northern Ireland, and Devon, converged at dawn but did not link together. Instead, they kept the trawlers constantly moving, dodging pilot craft and causing at least one Russian container ship to lay off. The protest lasted more than six hours.
