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.

Most women with rheumatoid arthritis find their symptoms disappear when they are pregnant, only to reappear when the baby is born. Doctors from the University of Manchester have begun a study to find out why, in the hope that this will lead to new approaches in treatment.
Anyone with rheumatoid arthritis who is also pregnant and wishes to take part should contact Maggie Fiddler, research nurse, on 0161-275 5046.
