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.

Proceeds of the issue, sponsored by James Capel, will go to Towry's existing shareholders. No new money is being raised for the company. It is coming to the market to facilitate acquisitions.
Towry Law was set up almost 35 years ago as a life insurance broker but expanded into general insurance and financial planning.
The group, which employs 400 staff, has more than 60,000 private and 5,000 corporate clients.
It incurred an pounds 89,000 operating loss in 1989 due to poor managerial control. Since then a new team has lifted taxable profits from pounds 1.3m in 1990 to pounds 2.4m last year.
The shares are to be priced on 4 November and dealings are expected to start a week later.
