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.Railcards can save passengers a third on their train fares and from next April they'll become even easier to use. The Association of Train Operating Companies is planning a digital Railcard that will allow for quicker applications, with no need to queue at a station ticket office or to wait for a card in the post. Once downloaded, the app will be available offline to show to rail staff, meaning no more frustration because you've left your card behind. Don't wait until April to get a money-saving Railcard.
