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.In remote Snowdonia in 1944, a German Jew interrogates Rudolf Hess, a prisoner of war struggles with his sense of shame and a young woman dreams of escape, the world and the glamour of cream horns in Lyons Corner Houses. Subtle and engrossing, this is a book about language and identity, about finding a place and about the important things – territory for sheep, and race for humans – that are passed down through the matriarchal line.
