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.

Over a hundred companies in the UK have signed up for a four-day, 32-hour working week without cutting any of the worker's pay.

The 4 Day Week Campaign hopes the firms, employing 2,600 staff in total, will help bring about a transformative change for the country.

Supporters of the four-day week say the standard 9 to 5, five-day working week is outdated and no longer fit for purpose.

They believe that companies can improve their productivity and get the same amount of work done in fewer hours - and the four-day week would spark improvements in productivity.

The employers taking part in the movement are officially accredited under the 4 Day Week Campaign’s accreditation scheme.
