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.

The death toll was expected to rise.
Major General Qassim al-Mousawi, a spokesman for the city's operations command centre, said the blasts wrecked apartment buildings in three neighbourhoods.
At least one explosion hit central Baghdad, near the Culture Ministry.
The explosions come two days after suicide bombings targeting foreign embassies in the Iraqi capital killed at least 40 people.
