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.

The PC series focuses on specific time-periods rather than taking the longer view of Civilization titles.
Anno 2070 will be the first one set in the future, and its announcement trailer invites prospective players to choose between creating an ecological or industrial future, setting sustainability against mass consumption come the game's release later in 2011.
Opting to side with the tycoons brings immediate benefits and efficiencies to a city's wealth, whereas following the advice of the game's environmental faction ushers in a cleaner world.
The trailer can be seen at youtube.com/watch?v=iTZ8ID8a1dU or the official website, annogame.com.
