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.

Other top contenders are Nicolas Sparks for his new title Safe Haven and Suzanne Collins for Mockingjay.
Franzen's Freedom, released August 31 in the US and due out September 23 in the UK, is his much-anticipated follow-up to 2001's The Corrections. The book earned considerable press and mostly glowing reviews and has been topping best-seller lists throughout the US.
American author Nicolas Sparks just penned his 16th novel, Safe Haven, which was published on September 14 and ranks number five in this week's Kindle best-seller list. The novel, about a woman emotionally involved with two men in her small town in North Carolina, is currently being adapted into a movie. His previous novel, The Last Song, was adapted into a 2010 film starring Miley Cyrus and Greg Kinnear.
