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:

Feminism, as Wal-Mart discount retail store in Florida apologised for removing from sale T-shirts with the slogan "Someday a woman will be president". A couple of customers had found them offensive, explained Wal-Mart's vice- president for corporate affairs, but "we over-reacted".

A bad day for:

Banharn Silpa-archa, the prime minister of Thailand, who has been told by the general secretary of the International Astrologers' Association that an eclipse on 24 October presages major changes in the government. "A jinx always comes with an eclipse," he was warned.
