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.

Three people have been killed and at least 31 injured after a truck smashed into a bus near the north-eastern Turkish city of Trabzon, the Anatolia news agency reported.
The bus was carrying passengers from the Georgian capital Tblisi to Istanbul when it hit a truck near Trabzon, 120 miles from the Georgian border. The nationalities of the people killed were not immediately known. Twenty-nine of the injured people were Georgians, according to Anatolia.
Every year thousands of people travel to Turkey from Georgia and other former Eastern block countries to stock up on clothing and other products to sell back home. The so-called "suitcase trade" is worth billions of dollars a year.
