"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."
"Police are investigating claims Labour tried to bribe voters with food in an upcoming Westminster by-election. The probe comes after a video emerged of an event where attendees were told to hold up posters if you want to get fed. The dinner, in Manchester, is reported to have been attended by around 600 people, including Labour's deputy leader Lucy Powell."
The Independent covers topics including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting while remaining paywall-free. The outlet highlights investigations such as the financials of political PACs and documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Police are investigating claims that Labour tried to bribe voters by offering food at a Manchester dinner held as part of the Gorton and Denton by-election campaign. A video appears to show attendees told to hold up posters to get fed, with around 600 people attending, including deputy leader Lucy Powell. Labour says the event amounted to ordinary hospitality, while electoral law defines treating as providing food, drink or entertainment to corruptly influence voters.
