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.

Sir: As a fervent advocate of accountability, I applaud the acumen and initiative of the two teenagers pursuing damages from the school that allegedly failed to provide them with their full quota of GCSEs (report, 2 December).
In the interests of equity, I trust that pupils who approach their academic studies with undue levity and parents who deliver fractious offspring into my jurisdiction should also be subject to sizeable financial penalties; such reprobates might cause my school to be relegated in the Examination League and dent my career prospects.
