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.US president Joe Biden is expected to deliver remarks on the American Jobs Plan. President Joe Biden plans to “rebuild” the American economy with a $2 trillion (£1.4 trillion) overhaul of the country’s transportation systems, electrical grid, and other infrastructure aimed at positioning the US to compete with an increasingly ambitious China.
The American Jobs Plan and the Made in America Tax Plan will serve as companion legislation to the $1.9 (£1.3 trillion) trillion coronavirus relief package which Mr Biden signed into law earlier this month, and are both meant to “unify and mobilize” the country against twin “great challenges” of climate change and “the ambitions of an autocratic China”.
