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 trust intends to concentrate on companies with capitalisations of up to pounds 15m. Its partly paid shares were floated at 50p with a further 50p due in September. MAH is traded at 30.5p, giving a pounds 3.4m capitalisation. It arrived on Ofex last month.
ITE, running exhibitions in Russia and which was once paint group Cementone, has won the support of United News & Media, which has acquired a 4.76 per cent stake. Part of the shareholding is the result of United exchanging royalties for shares. ITE is the creation of Lawrie Lewis who sold the Blenheim exhibition business to the newspaper group. United paid 77.5p for its ITE shares; they rose 3.5p to 77p.
