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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Save the Parliament Square One. The Home Secretary's decision to use valuable legislative time to pass a law to put an end to Brian Haw's protest opposite Big Ben against Iraq policy brings to mind words such as nut, free, sledgehammer and speech. Mr Haw's encampment is an eyesore to some. But it is not half as irritating as his message is to some ears. If appearance is the problem, let us launch a campaign to smarten him up. Give him his own, beautified, "technical area", with flowerpots and corporate sponsorship. Let Mr Haw have the last laugh.
