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 deluge hit dozens of homes in the town of Gundogdu, in the Black Sea province of Rize.
The region has become prone to landslides because of deforestation that cleared way for plantations. The rains began late on Thursday as many people were breaking their fasts for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Eleven people were killed and two were reported missing. Rescuers later pulled out the body of an elderly woman, raising the death toll to 12.
