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.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the previous week's number two, rises to first place, and last week's chart topper Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep drops to fourth. Outside the realms of the top 10, Final Fantasy XIII, the latest in the iconic adventure series, continues its fall from glory by tumbling from sixth at the start of the year down to 25th towards the end of the month.
