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.

French brand Paule Ka and its founder Serge Cajfinger are having a bit of a moment – not only has the Duchess of Cambridge been spotted in one of the label's chic skirt suits, but this week sees the opening of its latest store on Mayfair's hip epicentre Mount Street. Expect feminine luxury and Gallic chic topped off with an injection of modernism and mayhem.
Opens Tuesday, London W1, pauleka.com
Face to watch: Edie Campbell
She's worked on campaigns for Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs and Burberry, all while "doing a Lily Cole" and juggling her modelling career with a degree in Art History at the Courtauld Institute. We predict huge things on graduation.
