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.

Tokyo Auto Show
October 21-November 4
Tokyo/Japan
Traditionally the biggest auto show in Asia, this year's 41st Tokyo Motor Show 2009 has been hit hard by the global downturn. The display area is half of what it was in the last show in 2007. The major US manufacturers have withdrawn, as have the major European ones, including those from France, Germany, and Sweden. However, Japan's automakers - Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu - will be there in force.
