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.

Geoff Marginson, of the spray's manufacturers Pro-Products, said: "The phosphorescent solution charges up in daylight and glows at night, producing a flickering effect. At first the fox will be nervous of the lights but that will probably be overcome in time. Once they have got used to it they may well try to sneak into the centre of the pack and take a lamb."
