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.

The retreat was led by brokerage houses such as Nikko Securities, which finished the half year 57.7bn yen (pounds 290m) in the red: shares in Nikko fell 8.3 per cent. The mobile phone operator, DoCoMo, fell 4.3 per cent on its second trading day after rising a higher-than-expected 19.2 per cent on its debut.
