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.

Bad Day for superstition as a pregnant Thai woman, who was crawling under an elephant for good luck, was gored in the thigh. It is an old belief in Thailand that crawling three times under an elephant's belly will guarantee an easy delivery.
Proud Day for roast chicken as a magazine in Germany reported that thousands of Germans keep surnames such as Kotz (vomit), Brathuhn (roast chicken) and Hitler (Hitler), even though they could legally change them. "Why should I have a different name from my father and grandfather?" Herr Schwein asked.
