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 baby needed urgent medical treatment for a heart condition, and the UN arranged its transfer from a Sarajevo hospital. Britain announced it was preparing to send a medical team to Sarajevo to treat sick and injured children in the fighting, instead of flying the children out of the combat zone writes Colin Brown. Although contingency plans are being discussed for dealing with the evacuation of 60 children to Britain, John Major made it clear to the Commons yesterday that the Government favoured no airlift to Britain. 'If it is possible to treat the children on the spot, near to their families, with people around them who speak their language and in relatively familiar surroundings, then that is obviously the best way,' Mr Major told MPs.
