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.

Good Day for an identity parade, as police issued a description of a man they want to question in connection with a charge of speeding and resisting arrest. He is 6ft tall, with a handcuff on one wrist, a Mohican hairstyle and is wearing a kilt and green jumper.

Bad Day for Belgium, as a survey indicated that 61.4 per cent of Belgians would "unscrupulously" fiddle their taxes if they had the chance. "If fraud were an Olympic sport, Belgians would have no trouble getting on the higest steps on the rostrum," said La Derniere Heure newspaper.
