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.

When a jury gathers in Manhattan to select a memorial for the victims of a devastating terrorist attack, there's little consensus about which project should go ahead.

But when it's revealed that the winning entry has been designed by an American Muslim the country is plunged into a fierce debate about the competing claims of grief, art and the meaning of Islam.

Written with authority and panache, Waldman, a former New York Times correspondent, explores the interplay between public and private ideals.

The architect's most passionate defender turns out to be the one bereaved member of the panel.
