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 Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have surprised hundreds of commuters by travelling by bus to meet poppy sellers at a London Tube station on London Poppy Day.
The new royal parents have joined actress Barbara Windsor (the RBL's Poppy Day Ambassador) on a 1960s Routemaster bus ride to High Street Kensington station, the closest station to their Kensington Palace residence - but not like they visit it as daily commuters.
As they approached the station's entrance, they were introduced to a line-up of Poppy Day supporters including volunteers and military personnel, as well as members of the Poppy Girls, who have produced the appeal's official single The Call (No Need To Say Goodbye).
Closer to Houses of Parliament, Prince Harry accompanied his grandfather Prince Philip as he made his annual visit to the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey.
