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 Independent has recorded its highest monthly circulation figures for three years. Audited figures for October, released yesterday, show The Independent's daily sale has risen to 240,272, the highest level since November 1997.
The October figure also represents a rise of 5.7 per cent on the previous month and an increase of 4.2 per cent on the same period last year. The Independent is alone among national broadsheet newspapers in registering month-on-month and year-on-year increases. The paper's share of the broadsheet market is, at 10.12 per cent, also the highest for three years.
The Independent on Sunday's circulation hit a three-year high in October, rising to 270,640. This was an increase of 11.6 per cent on the previous month and 3.0 per cent up on October 1999.
Terry Grote, managing director of both papers, said yesterday: "These figures show the progress made since Independent News and Media took control of the titles in March 1998. We are delighted that the continuing investment in the papers is being reflected in rising circulation and highly encouraging readership figures."
