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.

On Tuesday, the team behind Soho, Shoreditch, Home and Babington House opens the Dean Street Townhouse in central London. Sleek, open to all and with "tiny" rooms from £95, the Georgian townhouse hotel has 39 rooms and an all-day dining room ( deanstreettownhouse.com). From city chic to snowy peaks: in Aspen, the Viceroy Snowmass opens on Wednesday, just in time for Thanksgiving. The design-led hotel will offer ski-in, ski-out access to four mountain resorts ( viceroyhotelsandresorts.com/snowmass).
