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.

Fleye is described as 'your personal flying robot', which is spherical in shape with no extruding propellors.
The weight and size of a standard football, its innovative design marks a step forward in drone safety.
It can also be left to its own devices, with the capability of being set autonomous missions from a mobile app.
Laurent Eschenauer, CEO of Fleye, believes techonology like his will be everywhere in years to come.
"I am convinced in the future we will have flying robots around us helping us in our daily lives."
After raising funds through a Kickstarter campaign, pre-orders are expected to be available later in the year.
