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.

The Independent has launched its first ever Climate 100 List to celebrate those taking urgent action to tackle the climate crisis.

From lesser known change-makers to leading lights, the 100 people and organisations on this list embody The Independent’s commitment to making change happen – and fast.

They come from all corners of the world and across various sectors – from academia to activism, science to sport – and are united by a burning ambition to find solutions to the most pressing problem facing the planet.

The final five spots on the list are reserved for your input, readers of The Independent. As communities and leaders worldwide recognise that transformative action must happen now, we invite you to share stories of the unsung climate heroes in your community.

Nominations must be submitted by Friday, 16th August. The list in full will be unveiled in the third week of September.
