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.

THE number of complaints about domestic noise rose by 20 per cent during 1992-93 to more than 111,500, the Institution of Environmental Health Officers reports today.

The figure, calculated from a survey of almost 300 local authorities, is the highest recorded by the institution, which represents council staff who deal with noise complaints. It is also the biggest annual increase and compares with a total of about 42,000 in 1983.
