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.

Vaccine threat
Sir: The Chief Medical Officer is warning of the "serious danger" of a measles, mumps and rubella epidemic if immunisation levels are allowed to drop any further (report, 30 August).
Yet the Government has only itself to blame. It recently stopped allowing these three vaccines to be given separately. Several experts have stated that they believe that giving three vaccines at once may be too much for some children's immune systems.
The Government should restore freedom of choice and allow children to have these vaccines separately if this is their parents' wish.
