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.

The Independent has launched a petition calling on world leaders to take meaningful action on the climate crisis immediately.
We believe the world can’t afford to wait for action to tackle the climate emergency and we want global leaders at the Cop26 UN climate summit to agree on securing global net zero by mid-century and keeping the 1.5C target from Paris within reach.
And you can join us by signing our petition which also calls for leaders to tackle the climate emergency and biodiversity crisis as one, ensuring efforts to protect and restore nature are at the heart of methods to stop global heating.
We are wanting to ensure the voices of the world’s most climate-vulnerable communities, including indigenous people, must be at the forefront of conversations taking place at Cop26 in Glasgow between 31 October and 12 November.

We launch this petition as an organisation which has long recognised the gravity of the climate crisis.
Pioneering, agenda-setting climate journalism has been a central pillar of our coverage for decades – acknowledging the fact that this is the defining issue of our times.
And to prove our commitment to you, our readers, earlier this month we offered five pledges. To read our pledges click here.
