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.

Argentina fell 4-3 to Les Bleus, with Kylian Mbappe stealing the show from Lionel Messi.
And while the Barcelona forward is yet to speak on his international future, Mascherano confirmed that, at 35, he had played his final game for the national team.
Mascherano was considered such a prodigy that he made his Albiceleste debut before he had even played for his club, River Plate.
He has been a mainstay in the setup ever since and was part of the team that won gold at the Beijing Olympics.
