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.

Shareholders in WH Smith yesterday approved the company's plan to buy back up to 28.5 million of its ordinary shares, about 10 per cent of its issued share capital. The company said last month the earliest date it would make share purchases would be after its results statement scheduled for 27 August. WH Smith is still seeking a new chief executive to replace Bill Cockburn but could announce an appointment as early as next month.
