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.

With just three weeks until polling day, most of the main political parties have now - with much fanfare, booing and power cuts - launched their manifestos for the 2015 General Election.

With the polls tight and an outright majority not on the cards, voters are being told that either their choice matters more than ever or that this is the most important election ever. Yet with the major policies launched and the door-knocking in motion, is there really that much difference between the parties on the main issues? Can you really spot the difference between a Ukip and a Tory stance on immigration, or the contrast between a Labour and Lib Dem policy on the NHS?

We read the public various sentences from the Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem, Ukip and Green party manifestos and asked them to match the policy to the party.

See how they got on in the above video.
