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.

Staff at the National Gallery in London are to walk out on Thursday in a dispute over staff cuts, which could disrupt the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition.

PCS members at the gallery will walk out between 1pm and 3pm on Thursday and from 4pm to 6pm on 28 January, with further action threatened in February. Strikes will also hit tax offices today over union fears that work is being privatised.
