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.

After a failed campaign to round up stray cats, officials have now announced that refuse collectors will be equipped with nets and instructions to round up 200 pigeons a day. Diseased birds will be killed and the rest disinfected. Next year, phase two of the plan will involve the replacement of pigeons' eggs with plaster replicas.
Bad Day for senior citizens of Miami, as elderly residents of several condominiums were billed for entended 'phone calls to steamy sex lines. One 82-year old woman, charged $99.75 for a 30-minute call, commented: "If I didn't get a heart attack then, I figure I'm safe for a while." Another woman, who was charged $30.90 for a call she never made, said: "Sex? I'm 71. My husband is 82. Believe me sex is the last thing on our minds."
