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.

Pressing one button to jump, and doing absolutely nothing else, doesn’t sound like much fun; Canabalt is proof that on the iPhone, style can more than make up for substance. The beauty and pleasure of the title comes in its dark, mysterious atmosphere, the delicate animation of the tiny figure you help run across the rooftops in mad flight from a nebulous threat. Hit a box and you slow down; fall down a gap and its game over. That’s it. You’ll play it again, and again, and again.
