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.

CHITTAGONG - Clashes between Islamic militants and their student opponents left at least four people dead and nearly 150 injured during a strike at the Bangladeshi port. Local sources said militant students fought police with home-made bombs and stones. Nearly 150 people were injured with more than 50 hit by bullets. The strike was called by the United Students Forum, which opposed plans by the ultra-rightist Jamaat-e-Islami party to hold a rally. Reuter
