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.

A young engaged couple have received the perfect wedding gift: a EuroMillions lottery jackpot of £45.1m. Cassey Carrington and Matt Topham, both 22 and from Stapleford in Nottingham, are due to be married in September.

Mr Topham, a painter and decorator, said: "I have often painted these huge houses and wondered what it would be like to live in one, now I can find out."
