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.

Tancock had been under threat after the trials in Sheffield, where he finished second in the 50m and 100m events, and his name was not among the 27 announced yesterday for next month’s competition.
Michael Jamieson is the sole Olympic medallist on the team following Rebecca Adlington’s retirement. Jazmin Carlin will travel to Spain after missing the 2012 Olympics because of illness.
