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.

Oasis warns on Web sites
Oasis has issued a legal warning over the use of copyright material on hundreds of unofficial Internet sites dedicated to the group.
The band's management said last week that it hoped that Web site operators would heed the warning and not force the group to go to court. Unofficial Oasis Web sites have been using extensive sound and video material from the band without permission.
Some Oasis fans who run Internet pages were upset by an e-mail message last week advising that they had 30 days to remove unauthorised material, or face legal action.
