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.

Sisters Venus and Serena Williams have signed a three-year marketing agreement with Canadian telecommunications company Nortel Networks.
The Williams sisters, who won the doubles gold medal in the Olympics, will make personal appearances for the Internet and communications company that specializes in fiber-optics. The company is based in Brampton, Ontario, near Toronto.
"Serena and I are really encouraged by what we can do with a company at the heart of the Internet revolution like Nortel Networks as we try to take the game of tennis out to kids who might not have been exposed to it," Venus said.
Venus Williams is the world's No. 3 ranked player and also captured the gold medal in singles. She is the reigning Wimbledon and U.S. Open champion. The sisters have won three Grand Slam doubles titles.
