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.

A survey conducted by the insurance giant's 24-hour helpline for the start of the Chinese New Year reveals that people born in the year of the monkey appear to be the worst drivers, while rats have the most mishaps in the home.
The poll, taken from a sample of the 49,000 calls the helpline handles each month, highlights the widely differing claims from people born under each of the 12 ancient Chinese signs of the zodiac.
Apparently monkeys are three times more likely to have a motor claim than roadwise dragons, says CGU.
