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.

Among the work on display is a portrait of Sir Thomas More who rose to the position of Lord Chancellor before his opposition to the king's split with the Catholic Church led to prison and his eventual execution.
Also included is a portrait of Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, who fell foul of the king but was saved when Henry died the night before his planned execution for high treason.
The exhibition at the Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace, central London, opens on Friday 2 November.
