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.

Nadia Fawzi, a six-year-old girl abducted and taken to Libya almost three years ago, is pictured with her mother Sarah at Manchester Airport yesterday on her return to the UK. She was snatched from her home in Wigan by her father Fawzi Abuarghub in May 2007. Sarah moved to Libya to track her down and launched a campaign that was backed by her local MP Andy Burnham and Gordon Brown, who petitioned Colonel Gaddafi. Nadia was eventually found by British embassy staff and mother and daughter were reunited in the Libyan capital Tripoli last December. Her grandmother Dot Taylor said: "The family are ecstatic to have her back. It is the best feeling. Now we want to spend some time together." Chris Foster/MEN/PA
