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.

FINANCIAL COMPANIES are not launching new products, so bargains are thin on the ground. But here is a snippet. CS Healthcare, a friendly society started by civil servants in 1929, specialises in offering health insurance to public-sector staff, those in privatised firms, and their families. Basically, CS offers two cheap health insurance schemes. CORE is a low- cost plan covering in-patient and out-patient care, including home-nursing after treatment, plus cash benefit for overnight hospital stays. A single person, aged 27, would pay pounds 16 a month. A more comprehensive plan would cost pounds 29 a month. Very good value. Call 0181-410 0400.
