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.

TYPHOON YORK killed eight people and caused losses of more than 200m yuan (pounds 15m) as it tore across China's southern Guangdong province, officials said yesterday. Six of the victims were said to have died when York flipped a double-decker bus over.

York's trail of destruction on the Chinese mainland follows its hammering of Hong Kong on Thursday where winds of up to 87mph left one dead, one missing and 493 injured.
