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:
Chen Zhaoguo, a Chinese calligrapher, who has completed a 10-year project to carve the bible onto a collection of 380 stones. The 1.5 million Chinese characters, each between 0.1 and 0.2mm in height, need magnifying 15-fold before they become legible.
A bad day for:
Birdwatchers, who travelled from all over Britain to a reservoir in Leicestershire to spot a rare migrating red-necked phalarope, only to see it suddenly eaten by a 4ft-long pike. "It was like a scene from Jaws," said one horrified birdwatcher.
