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.

Are they little sprinkles of grammatical joy, or mini daggers of confusion?
In 2008, a survey showed the apostrophe was the punctuation mark that caused the most frustration for Britons.
Some people even dedicate their lives to ensuring the correct use of apostrophes. There's an Apostrophe Protection Society, which was formed in 2001. The Apostrophe Vigilante has encouraged Twitter followers to write in with heinous examples of apostrophe abuse for the five years. And last year David Marsh created the first International Apostrophe Day.
We've all shown an apostrophe neglect at some point. But when it comes to the nitty gritty, do you know your its from your it's?
