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.

'Exorcist' jailed

A self-styled exorcist has been jailed for six years for killing his fiancee, and sealing her body in a tomb in his house. Nicholas Sagunro, 27, of East Ham in London, believed his girlfriend, Mary Odegbami, to be possessed by the devil. She died as a result of an attempted exorcism by Sagunro which involved her starvation and force-feeding with what he described as "Holy Communion"
