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.

Peter Evershed, 59, a local businessman who was on a fishing trip, was attacked at the Chitake Springs bush camp on the Zambezi River near the Mana Pools nature reserve, last Friday afternoon.
The victim's family and friends heard him scream and raced to the showers, but he was already dead. The lions retreated only after a safari operator pulled up in a vehicle with its headlights on and fired shots into the air.
