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.

Seeing your child go off to school for the first time can be one of the proudest and yet emotionally difficult moments as a parent. Whether you’re a working or stay-at-home mum, separation affects us in different ways. Going back to school, after spending the whole of the summer holidays with your children, can be hard for them and also for you.

As well as the stress of separation alone, going back to school requires almost as much planning as the summer holidays themselves, from getting your children back into a sensible bedtime routine to making sure you that all their school clothes, shoes and supplies are sorted.

No one understands these issues more than our panel of mums for the next episode of Mums Half Hour. Joining us live to discuss and answer your questions live for episode three, are Janine Moore, Jayne Everson and Emily Carlisle.

This webTV show will be live and interactive, with the panel taking your questions and thoughts so if you have something to say, they want to hear it!
