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.

Workers on the Heathrow Express are to strike again in a dispute over disciplinary action against two rail workers.

Members of the RMT union will walk out for nine hours from 3am on Saturday 24 March and for 12 hours from 11am the following day.

The union has held two strikes in protest at the sacking of a driver and disciplinary action against another worker.

A spokeswoman for Heathrow Express said: "The suspended employee has already returned to work and the dismissal ... has been withdrawn from employment tribunal."
