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.

Your support makes all the difference.

www.roughguides.com

The publisher of the Rough Guide series has now placed the text of around a dozen of its titles online. While it's easy to argue the Internet is no substitute for a book, the site is easy to use and an ideal first stop, if only to find out if these guides are to your taste.

www.dogshome.org

If, like me, you're a soft touch when it comes to anything that barks or mews, take a look at the Battersea Dogs' Home's Web page. It's one of those things the Internet was made for, and allows you to look at some of the dogs and cats currently looking for new homes.
