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 accident occurred when 40 workers were gathered in a classroom inside a training tunnel about 500m (1,640ft) from the entrance of the Big Gossan Mine in Papua province. The mine is owned by Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.
Three workers escaped unharmed, while four others were later freed by rescuers. Of those, one was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
