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.

MADRID - Forest fires still raging across southern and eastern Spain have killed 13 people in two days and forced tens of thousands from their homes on the Mediterranean coast. Eighteen were seriously injured and authorities estimate the flames have destroyed 247,100 acres of woodland, more than in the whole of last year. Among the dead were two firefighters killed in Andalusia when their truck exploded because of the heat. Reuter
