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.

His manager Burkhard Hopper says Svensson died on Saturday, but further details of the accident were not immediately available.
Svensson and his band, the Esbjorn Svensson Trio, became world renowned with their 2002 album "Strange Place for Snow." It won a string of jazz awards, including the Guinness Jazz in Europe Award and best international act in the BBC Jazz Awards.
In 2005, it became the first European jazz band to be featured on the cover of Downbeat jazz magazine in the US.
