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.

Rachel Payne and Liz Gearing are two clients of Simply Travel (020-8541 2222, www.simplytravel.com) who have seen a business opportunity in keeping tender skin out of the sun. Their company, Koolsun, produces garments for babies and children that block 98 per cent of UVA and UVB rays. Now the tour operator has decided to provide a free Koolsun T-shirt to every child aged two or over who attends one of Simply Travel's holiday creches or children's clubs.
