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.

Meanwhile Sharon Osbourne has launched a single to raise funds for victims and said she wanted to adopt children orphaned by the tsunami disaster. Sir Elton John, Pink, Rod Stewart, Gwen Stefani, Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne, and Phil Collins are among singers on a cover of Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven", to be released in about four weeks. Proceeds will go to Save the Children.
