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.

Banks fell 3.8 per cent as losses on securities by the largest 18 banks in the half to September were said to total 2.7 trillion yen (pounds 14bn), against a net gain of 2.46 trillion yen in the previous half. Most are expected to ask for between 200bn and 1 trillion yen each from Japan's 60 trillion yen bail-out package.
