Empowering Journalism with Your Support

Reproductive Rights and Beyond

The Independent is not just about big issues like climate change and Big Tech. It's also deeply involved in reproductive rights. Take our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for these rights. We know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging and bring you the truth.

Just like in the case of South Carolina Mayor George Garner II, who died in a car crash days after his entire police force quit. This local tragedy shows the importance of having reliable journalism on the ground. Our reporters are there to cover such events and bring you the details.

Local Tragedy in South Carolina

McColl Mayor George Garner II's tragic death in a car crash after his police force resigned is a heartbreaking event. The pursuit was not related to any laws being broken, but it still had a profound impact. Our reporters are working to bring you the details of this investigation and offer support to the affected community.

Garner leaves behind a wife, two sons, and a daughter. His funeral service will be held on December 3, and our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time. We also offer our condolences to Brian Blue, the McColl Mayor Pro-Tem, who is dealing with the loss of his colleague.
