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.a good day for:
Gorillas, with the announcement, from the Cincinnati Zoo's Centre for Endangered Wildlife, that the world's first test-tube gorilla baby is expected in December. The news came on the 17th anniversary of the birth of the world's first test-tube human.
a bad day for:
Cowboys, whose reputation for shooting-from-the-hip, tough individualism was dented by the news that they want to create a Professional Rodeo Players Association with health insurance and collective bargaining.
