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.

Ben Ainslie has won his first four races in the singlehanded Laser and, in the double-handed Laser 2, the boys partnership of Nicholas Rogers and Pom Green leads while the girls' partnership of the sisters, Jessie and Sally Cuthbert, are second.
In Torbay the defending holder of the Dragon Gold Cup, Paul-Richard Hoj- Jensen, was disqualified for being over the line at the start of the third race as his German compatriots, Harm Muller-Speer and Markus Glas, engineered a first and third sandwich of Dutchman Cees Nater. The leading British entry, at fifth overall and sixth yesterday, is 67-year-old Terry Wade, of Burnham, who sails with his daughter, Teresa.
