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.

Strippers: Dancers at the Showboat strip club in Anchorage, Alaska, are seeking affiliation with the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Union because they say their employer has been unresponsive to worker concerns. "Our main concerns are that our working environment be safe, that we aren't verbally abused and sexually harassed by management," a spokes-stripper said.

Condoms: Police in South Africa last week arrested a man whose name has not been released, who had swallowed 99 condoms filled with cocaine. "There was hardly place for a biscuit in the man's stomach," said Superintendent Eugene Opperman. "A few years back we had a guy who had swallowed 90. This is a record."

Sexual predators: According to a survey by FHM magazine last week, women are becoming the "new sexual predators". The survey claims that six out of 10 women say they are unfaithful to their boyfriends, 14 per cent have slept with a man because they were drunk and 56 per cent say "a large penis isn't better".
