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.

Mandy is directed by Panos Cosmatos, the son of Tombstone director George P. Cosmatos, who made his debut with 2012's surreal Beyond the Black Rainbow.
Set in 1983, the film stars Cage as Red Miller, a man living in the wilderness near the Shadow Mountains, in California's Mojave Desert, with his girlfriend Mandy Bloom (Andrea Riseborough).
However, their peaceful existence comes crashing down when a band of ravaging idolaters and supernatural creatures arrive at their front door, and Red must hunt the villains down to exact his vengeance.
The film premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival, with critics praising Cosmatos's highly-artful, gonzo approach, making Mandy the perfect canvas for Cage's own inimitable acting style.
Mandy is out in UK cinemas 12 October and out on Blu-Ray, DVD, and Digital Download 29 October
