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.

It might be time to put the sticky back plastic to use, as this year's Great British Innovation and Inventions fair, at the Barbican from 6 to 9 March, features the Mathmos Floogelbinder Challenge award, a competition for slightly wacky but potential-rich inventions. But don't expect instant riches: first prize is a giant lava lamp. Info (01202 762252)
