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.

FEATURING SUN-bleached motels and therapists' waiting rooms, Barbara Anderson's New Zealand-based short stories could just as well be set in southern California. A writer attuned to all shades of domestic sadness, her uncluttered and distinctive prose describe couples on the verge of break-up, or locked together in decade-old conflict: husbands and wives battling it out over travel arrangements and maps, young lovers trying to squeeze happiness out of a beach weekend. Best known for her award- winning novel Portrait of the Artist's Wife.
