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 Barcelona, as Inaki Urdangarin paid the city more than pounds 2,000 for 19 overdue traffic and parking tickets, fines and taxes after complaints from a group calling itself the "Anti-Corruption Commission" that city officials were overlooking his debts. Mr Urdangarin is due to marry Princess Cristina of Spain next month.
Bad Day for Nursery Rhymes, as Nellie Gindlesperger retired at the age of 85 after 25 years of playing the "old woman who lived in a shoe" in front of a massive green boot at the Story Book Forest at Idelwild Park near Pittsburgh. Her departure is tinged with considerable regret: "They aren't teaching the youngsters nursery rhymes today," she said. "Our fairy tales are going to be lost."
