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.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

So when Holly Walsh jumped off Worthing Pier in a homemade flying machine and broke her arm, she also wound up with the material for her first stand-up show, The Hollycopter. It earned the one-time BBC children's television presenter a Best Newcomer nod at the Edinburgh Fringe last year. Next month, Dead Boss, a macabre new sitcom she co-wrote with Sharon Horgan, airs on BBC3, starring Jennifer Saunders as a psychotic prison guard.
