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.

"It was like a voice coming back from the dead," she reveals in My Dad's Diary (11am R4) but a voice she hardly recognised - that of a gentle young man whose faith was being tested to the limit. Derek Jacobi reads extracts from Noel Goode's remarkable account of survival.
People who like Suede (right), but not enough to pay good money to see them, should listen to Lamacq Live (8pm R1) in which the Britpop "legends" can be heard playing live at the London Astoria.
