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.

PITY the desperate estate agents and developers who rang a number in Chartered Surveyor Weekly to speak to 'Dr Andreas Streich, a private German investor looking to spend pounds 200m acquiring 1960s office buildings at the end of their leases on the fringes of the City or Docklands.' The magazine said Streich wanted 'to exploit long-term growth potential shunned by UK investors'. Several well-known names were among the callers. The magazine appeared on 1 April and Streich is the German word for prank. Sorry.
