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.

India crawled their way to 54 for the loss of Ajay Jadeja in 168 minutes on a rain-shortened opening day of the second Test against New Zealand. Heavy rain delayed the start and bad light forced an early closure after just 35.3 overs.
India won the toss and elected to bat. Manoj Prabhakar remained unbeaten on 19 from 110 balls while Navjot Sidhu had scored 18 off 72 deliveries. Jadeja, who scored 73 in the second innings at Bangalore to set up India's eight-wicket victory, never looked comfortable during his 58 minutes at the crease and he was bowled for three by a full-pitched delivery from Dion Nash, who conceded 14 runs in 10.3 overs.
