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.Jeremy Hanley (right), the Tory party chairman, with John Gummer, Secretary of State for the Environment, at yesterday's final Conservative press conference before the local elections. Mr Hanley - who has been widely criticised within the party - put his job on the line by insisting he was happy to be judged by his stewardship of the party's campaign. "This campaign is part of my responsibility ... I am perfectly happy to be judged on the way I have fought this campaign and brought the record of Conservative councils to the public's attention," he said.
