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 Edinburgh impresario, who has shown the work of artists from Joseph Beuys to Damien Hirst in a career which seems almost to have spanned the century, has this year reached new heights of eccentricity. He has staged works for the Edinburgh Festival in some unusual venues, but none quite as strange as the Dundee Rep.
Despite Demarco's liberal interpretation of the word Edinburgh, his characteristically poetic programming should fill out at least the Rep's front row. None other than the President of Lithuania, Vytautas Landsbergis, is giving a piano recital in Dundee at 9pm on Friday 18 August. In future years, perhaps we can look forward to John Major performing circus tricks or Slobodan Milosevic playing his harmonica.
