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.

Best has been out of work since his controversial departure by Quins in May. His case was due to be heard at an industrial tribunal in Croydon yesterday, but the hearing was cancelled following notification that a settlement was imminent. Best, replaced by Jack Rowell after winning 13 of his 17 matches as England's coach, said yesterday: "I am not allowed to comment on the settlement but I can confirm I am still out of work and looking for work."
