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.*The school point score is arrived at through the UCAS tariff, which gives 120 points for an A grade at A-level, 100 for a B, 80 for a C, 60 for a D and 40 for an E. The points are halved for AS-level grades. Students who take the vocational A-level double award get 240 points for a double A, 220 for an AB, 200 for a BB, 160 for a CC, 140 for a CD, 120 for a DD, 100 for a DE and 80 for an EE.
