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.

PARTY of the year to avoid at all costs: French Consulate. Sydney. Bastille Day. 8pm. RSVP. But with the whole of the South Pacific in an uproar of anti-French loathing months before M Chirac's nuclear eructation is even scheduled, the consul in Sydney had a ghastly attack of pre-party nerves and called the whole thing off. Consternation in Paris. The Quai d'Orsay has now decreed there WILL be a party in Sydney, and that French staff present WILL display all joie de vivre required. Bottoms, um, up. . .
