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.

Managing director David Bramhill is at pains to warn investors the shares are very high risk. But he reports progress in Ireland, where the group has eight licences to search for gemstones in County Donegal. CMR has found rock structures there that are the type that sometimes contain gemstones. Although the Scottish investigation has hit the headlines, it is still the Irish exploration that is most likely to bear fruit. Mr Bramhill says that drilling could start by the end of the year.
Housebroker Walker Cripps Weddle says the shares are not for widows and orphans. They tipped up 0.75p yesterday at 15.75p. Investors would see more volatile price movements upon news of geological survey results. If gemstones are not found, however, they would see the shares plummet - not romantic at all. Punters should question whether the possible rewards are worth the risk.
