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.

From stations in Australia and campuses in China, to publishers in Korea (the amazing Paju Book City), libraries in Colombia and the Chicago Bears stadium, the selection of 1088 sites will intrigue even firm anti-modernists.
UK highlights stretch from the Scottish Parliament and Selfridges in Birmingham to the Eden Project and Gherkin. But (why-oh-why moment coming) whatever made the editors assault us with the eyesore of Portcullis House in Westminster?
