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.A good day for:
cartoonists, with the report from Brazzaville that the constitution of Congo has been produced in comic-strip form to make it accessible to a wider public. World Bank figures indicate a 43.4 per cent adult illiteracy rate.
A bad day for:
flying bakers, when a Swedish passenger jet was forced to make an emergency landing after a bread roll became stuck in a cooling fan of the on-board oven. There was a good deal of smoke, but no injuries. A doctor and crisis group accompanied passengers on the flight to London to soothe troubled nerves.
