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.

Close will also attend the festival to present her latest film, "Albert Nobbs," set in 19th century Ireland, in which she plays a woman who disguises herself as a man to get a job in a hotel.
Close, 64, best known for her film roles in "Fatal Attraction" and "Dangerous Liaisons", is currently the star of the US television drama series "Damages".
She will receive the festival's Donostia Award for her film career on September 18.
The Donostia Award has been given out each year at the festival since 1986 to "a great film personality in recognition for their work and career."
Past recipients include Gregory Peck, Bette Davis, Susan Sarandon, Meryl Streep, Richard Gere and Woody Allen. Last year's winner was Julia Roberts.
The 59th edition of the San Sebastian festival, the oldest and most prestigious in the Spanish-speaking world, takes place from September 16 to 24 in the coastal city in northern Spain.
