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.

Tarrant, 51, was bouncing on a pair of novelty boots his wife Ingrid had bought for his birthday when he fell over in agony.
The DJ thought he had sprained his ankle on Sunday night but his doctor told him he had broken his leg in two places. He has had a metal plate inserted in his leg and cannot present his Capital FM Breakfast Show until next Monday. Tarrant, host of Man O Man, also recently gave himself a mild electric shock from a cattle fence while answering a call of nature on a riverbank.
He told listeners in a telephone call from his home yesterday: "I can't believe it ... I went down like a sack of spuds. I've been Rawlplugged all up my leg."
