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.

Abride was shot dead at her wedding reception in Los Angeles by a former boyfriend who then put a bullet in his own head as wedding guests looked on, Phil Reeves writes in Los Angeles. Iliana Valencia Perez, 19, died instantly after being shot twice in the abdomen and once in the head by her attacker, who burst into her garden where she and her new husband were awaiting the start of their wedding feast, surrounded by gifts and decorations.
