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.

A jury led by US producer Ron Yerxa in the western Czech spa city picked Vila's film featuring Geraldine Chaplin in a silent role as the Grand Prix-Crystal Globe winner out of 12 movies.
Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov and Czech director Juraj Herz received Crystal Globes for "outstanding artistic contribution to world cinema" at the festival.
British actor Jude Law arrived in Karlovy Vary, about 130 kilometres (80 miles) west of Prague, earlier in the week to receive the Festival President's Award.
