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.

Eamonn Martin sprinted away from Mexico's Carlos Bautista to win Sunday's Chicago Marathon. Martin was forced to make an unscheduled stop after 17 miles of the race, which cost him nearly 30 seconds, but he battled his way back and caught up with the leaders after 21 miles, coming home in 2hr 11min 18sec, three seconds clear of Bautista at the head of an 11,000-strong field.
