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.

TALKS aimed at resolving Sudan's civil war restart today against the backdrop of a threatened famine in south Sudan related to the 15-year war. Thousands could die in Bahr el Ghazal region, where international aid has been hampered by fighting between the Khartoum government and the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army, aid agencies say. The Nairobi talks, which ended inconclusively last November, are resuming under the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development, a seven-nation grouping of regional states. Delegations from the Sudan government and the SPLA arrived in Nairobi yesterday.
