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.

Peter and Helen Radley live with their teenage children, Rowan and Clara, in the North Yorkshire village of Bishopthorpe. He's a GP, she likes to paint. Both are trying to put their wild London days, and a taste for librarians, behind them.
But then Clara is attacked by a drunken boy and in a fit of vampiric fury she kills him. Suddenly the family secret is out. Help is supposedly at hand with the arrival of Uncle Will, a monster of the old school.
Clara attempts to become a vegan, while the weedy Rowan learns to use his fangs to advantage. Written in short, juicy chapters this life-affirming comedy will particulary appeal to older teens.
