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.

Hambros slashed its bonuses for 1994, according to the annual report, with Lord Hambro, chairman, receiving nothing after a pounds 25,000 bonus last year. The chairman's total emoluments went down from pounds 181,000 to pounds 142,000, while the highest-paid director's total benefits fell from pounds 679,000 to pounds 543,000. The merchant bank recently announced profits for the year to March 1995 of pounds 37.1m, down from pounds 87.8m last time.
