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.

Villagers support DNA test

Officials expressed satisfaction yesterday after all but one young French male in the village of Pleine-Fougeres gave DNA samples to help find the killer of Caroline Dickinson. During three days of testing, 169 of 170 males in the village voluntarily gave a sample of saliva to help find out if one of them killed Caroline, 13, on 18 July, 1996. Philippe Drouet, one of the prosecutors, said the results of the tests could be known by Friday.
