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.

An article last month, 'Miners transfer pension schemes', quoted an insurance company's claims that local officials of the National Union of Mineworkers were encouraging former miners to switch their benefits out of the Mineworkers' Pension Scheme. Later in the article there was a separate reference to Frickley Colliery, South Yorkshire. The Frickley branch of the NUM has asked us to say that it is not its policy to recommend such transfers.
