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.

SAM WALTON, the fabled founder of Wal-mart, the largest retailer in the world, could be firing a warning shot across the bows of British retailers in the form of his self-promoting book, Made in America. Wal-Mart is sending a load of baseball bats, bunting and other material to boost sales of the paperback, which is being launched this week. But British retailers are getting their defences in order. Harriman House, the publisher, has already sold a couple of copies to Asda, two more to main board directors of Sainsbury, and 20 to B&Q. Do they know something we don't?
