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.

This coconut- flavoured flat bread is cooked in a large frying pan.
Recipe: Pan Fried Sesame Bread
Serves 6-8
1lb plain flour
4oz coconut cream (available in Asian shops in the form of bars),
dissolved in 4fl oz water
1 egg
1 packet quick yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together except the sesame seeds. Make a dough and roll it out until it's springy. Then cover, and leave for two hours to rise. Press the sesame seeds into the dough, then flatten it in a frying pan which has been sprinkled with a little salt dissolved in water to prevent sticking.
Cook over a low heat for 15 minutes, then put the pan under a grill in order to finish off the cooking with heat from above. Cut the bread into six or eight pieces.
