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.

Residents of the Olaya Herrera neighbourhood took the Capuchin monkey from its natural habitat only weeks after birth and gave it to the mixed breed dog to soothe its pain from losing its puppies.
The two became inseparable, but the monkey would become aggressive when people approached them.
Environmental and Ecological Protection Police took custody of the animals to consider separating them and sending the monkey back to its home in the wild.
However, it is not known whether the other Capuchins would welcome the monkey back into the wild.
