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.

"On my 18th birthday I made a promise to myself," said Roberts: "`If I have not found my father by the time I'm 21, I'm gonna give up'. I'll be 21 in two months."
Bad Day for rapists, as the Peruvian Congress voted to repeal a 1924 law that lets rapists go free if they marry their victims.

The manager, Horacio Cordero, said: "I need all the players in full possession of their physical and mental faculties for the games against Mexico and the United States."
Good Day for long dresses, as a bride was barred from a wedding in Zimbabwe for wearing a miniskirt. Her groom was later arrested and fined for arguing with security and police officers.
