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.THE sentencing in France last week of Paul Touvier for collaborating with the Nazis has prompted many to call for one more prosecution for crimes against humanity - a trial of Maurice Papon who, as head of the national police in Bordeaux, helped deport 1,690 Jews to Nazi death camps. Papon is remembered by the Sixties generation as the Prefet de Police for Paris who gave his name to a new siren for police cars. The sound of 'paapon paapon paapon' was guaranteed to get the masses diving behind the barricades and reaching for the nearest cobblestone.
