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.

Chavez hugged his mother and one of his daughters after stepping off the presidential jet shortly before midnight on Wednesday. He arrived in his home state of Barinas, where his parents live.
Chavez says he has been recovering well after a February surgery in Havana that removed a second tumor from his pelvic region.
He has vowed to beat cancer to win re-election in October.
The 57-year-old president underwent his second round of radiation therapy this week. He began the treatments in late March and has said he plans to have a total of five rounds to help prevent a recurrence of his illness.
