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.

All three of the schoolgirls who went missing from their homes in London have been found safe and well.

Abir Salah, 16, and her sister, Ahlam Salah, 15, went missing with Fardowsa Hassan, 13, from Wood Green.

Fardowsa Hassan and Abir Salah were reported missing on 6 December. Ahlam Salah was reported missing on 12 December.

Police thought the trio had been sleeping on buses or elsewhere on the transport network.

Scotland Yard said none of the girls are believed to have left the London area.

The girls have been reported missing before.

They went missing for a week on 19 November and were found safe and well in the Wood Green area.
