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.

American actress Elizabeth Banks has something to be grateful for this Thanksgiving - she and her husband have welcomed their second child.

Banks, who recently starred in the comedy What To Expect When You're Expecting, announced on her website the arrival of Magnus Mitchell Handelman, who was born via a surrogate.

The new baby joins his older brother, 20-month-old Felix, who was also born via a surrogate after the 38-year-old star of The Hunger Games and her producer husband Max Handelman faced infertility issues.
