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.

Marion Morrison, as John Wayne was called until Raoul Walsh re-created him for the screen, did indeed suffer from his mother's deliberately cruel name-calling, but also from his decision to stay on in Hollywood at the outbreak of World War Two - and thus userp the popularity of bigger stars who had signed up to fight. Booze and womanising are the more predictable revelations.
Cause of Death (10pm BBC1) An estimated one third of deaths follow-ing admission to hospital accident and emergency units could be avoided. QED dramatises one such case with actors Tom Georgeson, Niamh Cusack and Michelle Dotrice.
