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.The future of the Tesco Express at the centre of a riot in Bristol last week is to be assessed today.
A meeting – which will involve officials from Tesco, police officers and council members – will consider whether the store should reopen.
A final decision is not expected until next month. The store in Cheltenham Road remained closed yesterday.
The violence happened after police raided a property opposite the store which had been occupied by anti-Tesco protesters.
Campaigner Claire Milne said she would lobby all parties to ensure "Tesco ceased trading in Stokes Croft".
