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.Pedestrian power is on the rise. Following his success in banishing traffic from the north side of Trafalgar Square, the Mayor of London intends to make Exhibition Road in Kensington a zone of "inferred pedestrian priority". Drivers will still have access to this area, home to some of the nation's finest museums, but they will no longer have the run of the road. The capital's experience has shown that a programme of pedestrianisation, if implemented judiciously, can vastly improve quality of life and need not damage local businesses. It is a model that ought to be implemented in many more of Britain's traffic-choked city centres.
