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.

I'M OUTRAGED that the word 'rape' was left out of the headline ' 'Train people' of Yugoslavia tell of torture and murder'. Clearly you don't regard rape as a serious crime.

Can we have less sexist language in your paper? I'm sick of reading 'men, women and children' and men's side of the story first, all the time. Even old men are rated more important than women. Let's have 'women, children and men' and women's side of the story first, please.
