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.

Samantha, 20: "I'd like to swap places with someone who knows what direction they're going in and what they want to achieve."

Dave, 17: "I'm worried about doing all this work, going to university, then coming out with nothing."

Matthew, 19: "I haven't felt like killing myself because of the pressure to achieve but sometimes I feel everything is on top of me."

Jamie, 20: "I got fed up with college and left to get a job. After three weeks, I realised if you get a job straight from school, it's going to be dead-end. I'm back at college, and prepared to work hard."
