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 round-the-world yacht race - formerly know as the Whitbread Round- the-World Race - will begin in September 2001 with a finish in May or June 2002. The announcement ends speculation that the race would move back to Portsmouth.
Darren Bundock, from Australia, and his crew John Forbes lifted the Tornado world title in style yesterday by winning the final two races of the series. It was Bundock's first world title in this high performance Olympic class. But the triumph was familiar territory for Forbes, a winner three times previously while sailing with Mitch Booth who finished third this time.
