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.

This map may become commuters’ most useful tool during Tube strike on Thursday.

It shows the time it takes to walk from each station, carefully breaking down London.

Four unions, RMT, Aslef, TSSA and Unite, are striking over London Underground’s plans to implement night tubes from 12 September.

The ensuing travel chaos is expected to affect millions of commuters, bringing London to a standstill in a similar fashion to the July strike – the largest in 13 years.

During that strike hundreds of thousands of commuters were spotted walking, running, and cycling to and from work. This map will undoubtedly prove helpful.

Londoners Joe Watson and Aryven Arasen, who both work in advertising, created the map ahead of the industrial action in 2013.

North London residents may face the worst walk, as with the usually quick Victoria line down they face a 31-minute trudge between Highbury& Islington and Kings Cross.

Another great stretch is Bermondsey to London Bridge, where commuters face a half-hour walk.
