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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Good Day for Dolf H. a 45-year-old Munich music publisher who was allowed to change his first name from Adolf. He was fed up with being pestered by neo-Nazis asking him to offer his services. The court recognised the problems faced by any Adolf whose surname began with H.

Bad Day for burglars as Attila Toerek, a Hungarian security operator, revealed his plans to offer poisonous snakes to guard valuables. "The minimum number would be five," he said, "and we can go up to 100, depending on what needs protecting." Anti-venom and a doctor will be on 24-hour call.
