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.

Bob Dylan (right) and Van Morrison, two genuine legends of rock, kick off a short national tour today. As they're so moody and unpredictable, this pair can often disappoint, but when they rise to the occasion, it can be one of those all-time great nights. Well worth a risk, if only to say that you've seen them.
Botanic Gardens, Belfast (01232 313131) tonight, 7.30pm; Newcastle Arena (0191-401 8000) tomorrow, 7.30pm; Glasgow SECC (0141-287 7777) 21 Jun, 7.30pm
There are more old people on show at the all-day Ozzfest, and for many devotees, this will be the first chance to see the classic Black Sabbath line-up of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler since 1979. But it won't be a gathering of balding beer-guts as retro metal is back in, and an undercard of the Foo Fighters and Pantera should ensure that the average age of the crowd will be half that of the headliners.
