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.

Officials said the bacteria was not related to the strain that has killed 39 and made 3,300 seriously ill, most of them in northern Germany.
The children, from the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region, the youngest of whom is 20 months old, had eaten frozen hamburgers made by the French company SEB, which said the meat was taken from animals slaughtered in three European countries and processed in France.
