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.A man who was paralysed after leaping from a window in a five-star hotel to escape gunmen during the Mumbai terror attacks is suing the owners.
Will Pike, 32, fell almost 50 feet at the Taj Mahal Palace when terrorists stormed the building and began shooting indiscriminately at guests.
He is now seeking damages from the hotel for failing to provide adequate security, claiming that although the hotel received warning of an attack, it failed to mount a security detail at the back door.
Mr Pike, an advertising copywriter from London, broke his spine in the fall and is confined to a wheelchair. He has served legal proceedings against the Indian hotel owners in London.
