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.EVERY THURSDAY, a week late and very expensive, the Independent on Sunday arrives on my doorstep in Auckland, New Zealand, to be opened like an eagerly awaited present. Michael Bywater, Joan Smith, Wallace Arnold and Nicholas Barber have all become a necessary part of my week.
And now Will Self joins them. Having spent two years of my law degree writing a long and depressing thesis on pornography Will Self's sympathetic and beautifully written piece on Andrea Dworkin took me back to my own student days and reminded me of what has since been washed over by the concerns of legal practice and motherhood - it will always be important to care.
