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 Exiles, whose place in the competition was only confirmed on appeal last Friday, also face a testing second game, against Harlequins at The Stoop. "We're delighted to draw Leicester and Harlequins, they were by far the best two teams in England last year," said London Welsh's head coach, Lyn Jones.
Harlequins will play Wasps in the "London Double Header" curtain-raiser at Twickenham. Saracens face London Irish in the other match on 1 September.
