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.

Roberto Duran, the 44-year-old four-times former world champion from Panama, stopped the American Wilbur Garst with 46 seconds of the fourth round remaining in a scheduled 10-round super-middleweight fight in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Thursday.
Duran won the first of his world titles in 1972, when he knocked out Britain's Ken Buchanan for the lightweight championship. He later held welterweight, junior middleweight and middleweight titles.
Duran, who lives in Miami, dominated Garst with jabs and straight rights as well as telling blows to the body. Garst landed some rights to the head but not enough to overcome Duran. "He hit me with some good shots, but I just had to measure him right," Duran said.
Duran's record is 97 wins and 11 defeats, with 67 knock outs. Garst, from Tulsa, is 17-4.
