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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button pose by the new McLaren-Mercedes MP4-26 at its public unveiling before fans on the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin yesterday.

McLaren were the last of the big Formula One teams to roll out their car for the forthcoming season but still kept several elements under wraps with a fake engine and exhaust on display. "This is our new baby," Button said. "This is the car that hopefully will take one of us to win the drivers' world championship and also the constructors'."
