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.

A Filipino policeman died of a heart attack and four Bulgarian soldiers were injured, AFP reports from Phnom Penh.
Two Cambodians were killed in the separate attacks, near the scene of a Khmer Rouge assault on a passenger train that had killed at least 13 people the night before. The body of a Japanese policeman who had been killed serving under the UN in Cambodia was returned to Japan yesterday, and Tokyo was reported to be considering pulling its peacekeeping troops out of the country.
