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.

'Leaving the theatre,' he protests, 'some members of the audience smell the empty glasses I leave behind on stage. I presume they are checking to see if the drinks are real. Just because the show is about drink. Cheek of them] If the show was about sex would they be so nosey?' . . . Graham Norton is less than enamoured with the Pleasance Attic, where he is performing Charlie's Angels Go to Hell: 'I guess it's the Anne Frank memorial space,' he says. 'Except more people found her.'
