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.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuter) - Nine members of the neo-Nazi Afrikaner Resistance Movement have been charged with the murders of four blacks and the wounding of three in an attack last month in which one victim had his ears cut off and another, a boy, was shot in the face. The charges allege the accused agreed to spend the afternoon harassing and intimidating black people, searching their cars, assaulting them and shooting them dead. They are said to have put on police badges and placed a blue light on one of their cars before pulling over vehicles with black occupants.
