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.

The Congolese business studies graduate has now taken on a publicist, Kizzi Nkwocha, who has represented figures such as Chris Eubank in the past, and has already signed his first advertising deal. He appeared in a "viral" advert for a TV company and is in talks for further lucrative contracts.
Mr Goma found fame when he turned up at Television Centre in London for a job interview. A mix-up led to him being ushered into the studios to discuss the outcome of a court battle between Apple Computers and the Beatles' Apple Corps.
