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.

Six weeks after the most recent round of eruptions from the Kilauea volcano began the state's Big Island is still feeling the effects of the increased activity.
In this video, which was filmed and released by the US Department of Defence, lava can be seen flowing steadily around Pahoe, which lies east of Kilauea.
More than 180 explosions and earthquakes rocked the volcano at its summit yesterday. One explosive event in particular happened just before midday local time which caused ash and gas plumes that towered to nearly 10,000ft.
More than 400 homes have been destroyed since the volcanic activity started.
Volcanologists who have been monitoring Kilauea’s behaviour over the past month are now observing a new, seemingly calmer volcanic phase, but it's still very hard to predict when the activity will stop
