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.

Is it a paraffin greenhouse heater?
A moped fuelled on cow excreta?
How many miles will it do to a litre?
Alanis Morissette
Is it a portable trouser-press?
A seventeenth-century birthing dress?
A Luxembourgian water cress?
Alanis Morissette
A caravan no longer sold?
A French Canadian wrestling hold?
A fridge which keeps bacteria cold?
Alanis Morissette
No. Alanis Morissette
Is like the sort of noise you get
While waiting with a wounded pet
Before arrival of the vet.
It rants, it rails, it shrieks and squeals
And while your tooth enamel peels
It tells you how fed-up it feels
Alanis Morissette
Like Joni Mitchell's spoilt niece
or something out on day-release
Too much of it, you call the police
Alanis Morissette
When fifth-form angst as poetry
Meets well-paid music therapy
You get the lot on one CD
Alanis Morissette
