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.

The threat of a war in Europe continues to ominously grow with the diplomatic road to solve the Ukraine crisis seemingly coming towards an end.

Such a conflict, both sides agree, would have disastrous consequences for the country and have huge international ramifications.

How have we come to this point? And what does the future hold?

Kim Sengupta, The Independent’s World Affairs Editor covered the last Ukraine conflict and is reporting from there now.
