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.David Cameron was urged today not to let Tory Eurosceptics prevent him from signing a European directive tackling human trafficking.
Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman said he should not let Tories who were "irrationally hostile" to Europe "stand in the way of stopping human trafficking".
At Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron said human trafficking was an "evil trade" but the UK was already taking all the steps outlined in the directive.
The coalition Government has come under attack from Labour MPs and campaigners including the Archbishop of York for not signing up to the draft directive.
The act is aimed at co-ordinating efforts across EU countries and will allow the prosecution of offenders in one state for offences committed in others.
