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.

Jones, seeking to reclaim his place in Australia's Ashes party, struck 52 to help the chastened tourists to 258 for 4 in their allotted 50 overs, whereupon Dodemaide, the man of the match, dispatched Rod Latham with his first delivery then removed Martin Crowe to leave the hosts tottering on 10 for 3, a position from which they never recovered as three wickets for off-spinner Tim May completed their descent to 129 all out.
In Faridabad, a stomach complaint halted Kapil Dev's run of 203 consecutive one-day internationals but his compatriots experienced rather less discomfort as India beat Zimbabwe by 67 runs in the first instalment of a three-match series.
