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.

But now that Ben has stepped down as the dollars 136,000-a- year chief executive, the new boss - recruited from outside the Vermont-based company - will be paid more. The company, which is about to launch a big sales push in Britain, also employs a taster known as the 'Primal Ice-Cream Therapist'.
Hours: 40 per week.
Perks: As much ice-cream as you can eat while working, plus three pints to take home every night (any flavour). Benefits includes healthcare, insurance and retirement payments, maternity, paternity and adoption leave, educational training, employee counselling and free health club membership. A stock- purchase plan is available for employees who can't get enough of Ben and Jerry's, and financial advice for those investing elsewhere. The company may also give down payments on housing.
