Empowering Journalism with Your Support

Reproductive Rights and Beyond

The Independent doesn't shy away from important topics. Just like when they produced 'The A Word' documentary, shining a light on American women fighting for reproductive rights, they are constantly on the move. They understand the significance of these issues and are committed to bringing them to the forefront.

Whether it's investigating the inner workings of powerful entities or highlighting the struggles of those fighting for their rights, The Independent is there. Their work makes a real difference in people's lives and helps shape the narrative.

Construction Industry and Immigration

In the construction business, leaders are worried about Donald Trump's plans for mass deportation. As George Fuller, mayor of McKinney Texas, said, "We will absolutely have a labor shortage. These industries depend on immigrant labor." Builders are praying not to face dramatic workplace raids, and studies show a significant portion of construction workers are foreign-born.

In Texas, a border state with a booming construction industry and a worker shortage, the situation is particularly critical. Migrant labor is a common theme on construction sites, as Marco, a Honduran migrant, shared. Working in the US construction industry pays him four times more than in his home country.
