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.

Klein was leading the fifth race of the 31st Big Boat Series when his boat's outboard port hiking rack collapsed. He and six crewmen aboard the Twin Flyer were dumped into the bay between San Francisco and Alcatraz Island. The other crew members were rescued. Klein was a strong swimmer but crew members believe his foul- weather gear may have made swimming difficult in the choppy water.
