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.

White 1996 Bouchard Finlayson Oak Valley Chardonnay, £6.99, Safeway (reduced from £8.99 until 17 September)
The cool, apple-growing region of Elgin in the Cape lends a burst of lemony acidity to the buttery richness of this burgundy-style, oak-fermented dry white from Peter Finlayson. One for drinking with monkfish with alemon sauce.
Red 1998 Yonder Hill Cabernet Sauvignon, £8.49, Oddbins
An opulent, youthful red from Frikkie and Danila Naudé's new
Stellenbosch winery in the Cape. With its aromatic veneer of cedar and vanilla from maturation in new French oak underpinned by smooth cassis flavours, this rich, New World Bordeaux-style calls for a beef daube or some venison.
