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.

Thousands poured onto the streets in Pakistan's towns and cities and shots were fired in celebration soon after Younus Khan's side secured an eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the final at Lord's.
A 10-year-old girl and a young male were accidentally killed in the shooting, the Dawn reported.
The girl was watching the celebrations from an upper floor balcony in Nazimabad when she was struck by bullets. She died immediately.
A young man was similarly injured near Safoora Chowk and was rushed to a nearby government hospital where he was declared dead.
Government hospitals in Pakistan admitted several others with gunshot wounds, the report added.
