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.

Sir: It appears that Lord Owen, in creating the New Europe Movement, is trying to split the anti-European vote at the European elections in June ("Pro-Europe group aims to halt EMU", 2 March).
The genuine anti-European Union vote consists of the UK Independence Party and former members of the Referendum Party who have joined us to fight against the corrupt regime of the EU. However, there are people who claim to be against the EU and these come mainly from the Conservative Party, whose MEPs sit in Brussels as part of the pro-federalist Group of the European People's Party. It is the latter group which Lord Owen will help with his new movement.
However, in the long run, it is the pro-federalists like Tony Blair, Paddy Ashdown and Alex Salmond who will benefit - in other words the undemocratic European Union.
