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.

While the Tories and Labour tussle over who better represents 'One Nation' politics, a shocking report in today's Evening Standard shows just how divided Britain is between those who have lots and those who have less.

Here's the headline:

But if you still need convincing that we're not yet 'all in it together'...

It's not always been quite so extreme...

The situation is worse in America, but the UK is one of the most unequal countries in Europe...

And it costs us money...

So, not ideal, or even particularly close...
