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.

Last Call
FORMED IN 1992 by a trio of schoolmates, Ash have since completed their A-levels at the cost of a support slot with US rock giants Pearl Jam. Now they are a quartet, with guitarist Charlotte Hatherley joining for their tour in support of a third album. They are warning fans to expect something rockier. "We threw all the rules out the window," says frontman Tim Wheeler.
