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.

We're glad to see thespian hearts beat beneath the pin-stripe suits at the Royal Bank of Scotland, who are sponsoring this year's International Festival production of The Cocktail Party (reviewed left).
"The fact that TS Eliot was once gainfully employed as a banker is an extra bonus!" gushes the RBS's chairman in his programme note. "Banker- writers are rare - although last year the Royal Bank sponsored a stage version of Wind in the Willows by a former secretary of the Bank of England and we can even boast Hugh Miller and Robert W Service as former employees. But banker-dramatists, like this production, are something special."
Now that's what we call a bank statement.
