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.

Ekaterina Zatuliveter, the Russian woman detained by British authorities on suspicion of spying, has made her debut as a correspondent for a Kremlin-funded television station.

The 25-year-old, who worked as a parliamentary assistant to the Liberal Democrat MP Mike Hancock, was arrested last December on suspicion of spying for Russia, but released without charge. British authorities are seeking her deportation to Russia.

In her first offering for Russia Today, Ms Zatuliveter complained that Western governments are quick to support demands of protesters in other countries, but ignore similar demands at home.
