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.

Just when Lord Ashdown’s hat looked set to be the unpredictable runaway star of the 2015 general election, David Dimbleby had what can only be described as “a moment” live on the BBC.

The host of the broadcaster’s political coverage for the evening could be heard shouting “for God’s sake” as a short break rolled back to the panel in the studio.

Quite why he said it remains unclear.
