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.At only four years old, Isabelle Russell has become one of the RNLI's most prolific money raisers.
Izzy's interest in the charity was sparked by her dad, Adam, who is a volunteer lifeboat crew member at Fowey, Cornwall, and her mum, Jodie Keller, manager of its gift shop. Last year Izzy raised £121 selling loom band bracelets (in orange and blue of course) then in May she sold £93 worth of pin badges and recently, she did a bucket collection, bringing her total raised so far to £360.27. And she's not done yet; Izzy is busy making beaded keyrings to sell on Lifeboat Day at the end of this month.
