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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Crash blocks road

One of the North-east's busiest roads remained closed through the night as emergency services continued to deal with problems arising from a crash between diesel and chemical tankers. The drivers of both vehicles were taken to hospital - one suffering from a broken leg, the other a fractured pelvis - after the crash which occurred before dawn yesterday and blocked the A19 south of Middlesbrough in Cleveland.
