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.

It’s been just over a week since Russia invaded Ukraine and more than 2,000 Ukrainian people are reported to have died as well as hundreds injured.

According to the UN, more than 800,000 Ukrainian people have fled their homes since Putin declared war.

As international tensions continue to escalate, there has been talk of nuclear conflict and a 40-mile military convoy of Russian troops is approaching Kyiv.

The Independent’s live blog is one of the stories sparking the most conversations on the site. Now is your chance to ask an expert questions on all things Ukraine.

Independent columnist Mary Dejevsky, a key authority on Russian politics, will be hosting an ‘Ask My Anything’ event on 3 March from 3pm to 4pm.
