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.

Card sharp

AMERICAN EXPRESS has launched a credit card. Nothing new about that, nor about the fact that the Blue card offers 1 per cent of your money back for every pound you spend: Alliance & Leicester has been doing very well out of that particular wheeze.

No, this card is different in that it offers a range of nice bells and whistles, such as an introductory rate of 9.9 per cent APR for the first six months, rising to 19.5 per cent APR thereafter. Plus the money-back rate will go up to 5 per cent in November, useful for all your Xmas shopping. This is possibly the most useful flexible friend you can have this Christmas - as long as you don't go mad on it. Call 0800 700111.
