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.Fuel price campaigners staged a demonstration outside one of Britain's biggest oil refineries yesterday.
Around 100 vehicles took part in a go-slow on motorway routes in north Wales and the North-west of England before converging on the refinery at Ellesmere Port in Cheshire. The Stanlow Fuel Protest and Direct Action Group warned pumps would run dry.
Cheshire police said no major disruption hit the motorway network.
