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.

The government threatened more violent protests for today. The demonstration in Svay Rieng province coincided with its call for all UN forces in Cambodia to quit its territory, a day after the UN announced that the royalist Funcinpec party had defeated the CPP in the elections.
In Pursat province, a Briton, Christopher Moon, and two Cambodians working with the British mine clearance group Halo Trust were kidnapped by Khmer Rouge guerrillas, the UN said.
