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.

Victoria Nuland, the under-secretary of state for political affairs addressed the committee, along with assistant administrator for Europe and Eurasia, Erin McKee.
The assistant secretary of defence for international security affairs with the DOD, Celeste Wallander, also spoke.
The full hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee comes after Joe Biden confirmed more tanks will be sent for Ukrainian troops.
Thirty-one new M1 Abrams tanks will be sent to help Ukraine bolster its defences against Russia.
Eight M88 recovery vehicles will also be sent to help tow tanks that have been damaged or stalled in battle.
Mr Biden said the tank pledge shows “commitment to Ukraine and our confidence in the skill of the Ukrainian forces.”
