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.

The Mariners are in England for the weekend's World Club Challenge quarter-final against Wigan and sources say the players and staff will be told on return that the club will not exist next season.
Sir Rodney Walker was last night elected by an overwhelming majority as chairman of a reconstituted Rugby Football League board of directors at the game's annual meeting in Huddersfield.
