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 peace mission set off from Istanbul on Sunday in the hope of promoting a political solution to the Turkish-Kurdish conflict in the south-east of the country. The war with Kurdish rebels has killed 28,000 people since fighting began in 1984. The police stopped six buses, carrying some 300 Turkish and foreign human rights activists, and barred them from delivering a peace statement in downtown Ankara. Ankara - AP
