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 former university rector who suffers from Parkinson's disease and got married on an elephant will find out tomorrow whether his shockingly successful campaign for the presidency of Colombia has paid off, when the country goes to the polls.

Antanas Mockus is level with former President Manuel Uribe's chosen successor, Juan Manuel Santos, with around 37 per cent support. His Green Party was polling just 1 per cent in January, but has risen by promising to root out corruption, promote free trade and protect the environment.
