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.

Officials said the Beechcraft Premier I twin-jet flying out of Oklahoma with four people on board was apparently experiencing mechanical problems when it crashed in South Bend yesterday afternoon. It struck three homes, becoming lodged in one of them.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Roland Herwig, in Oklahoma City, said two people on the plane were killed.
Two others on board were injured, as was one person on the ground. Officials say none of the survivors had life-threatening injuries.
A South Bend fire official said they believe everyone connected with the damaged homes has been accounted for.
An investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board was examining the scene.
