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.

For what it's worth

Nearly 8,000 sellers have been persuaded to drop the price of their houses for Royal Insurance's "first ever" autumn property sale, which runs until 2 October. The Royal, whose 440-strong estate agency network includes such names as Barnard Marcus, Allen & Harris, and Manners & Harrison, says it is following the principle of the high street by reducing prices to attract customers. The only problem with this argument is that houses are like shares, rather than tins of beans; people buy when they see prices rising, rather than falling. However, those already in the market should give the Royal's windows a closer look this weekend.
