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.

This summer, Italian brewing brand Birra Moretti is launching a bring your own table (BYOT) restaurant.
From 12-15 June in Covent Garden, guests are invited to carry a table to the Trattoria Birra Moretti restaurant in exchange for a free six-course meal.
Diners can bring any sort of table they want while the restaurant’s waiters will provide chairs, food and drinks.
“Square tables, round tables, coffee tables and pottery tables,” are just some table suggestions provided by the event’s organisers on its website.
They also recommend diners bring a table that sits up to four people.
After all that hard work, customers will be in need of a hearty meal which will be created by Italian chef and restauranteur, Gennaro Contaldo.
“If carrying a table through central London doesn’t bring you closer with your friends, then my delicious cooking definitely will!” Contaldo says of the event.
For those unable to bring a table, they will still be able to eat at the restaurant but are asked to make a £10 donation to the Campaign to End Loneliness, which works to connect and bring communities together across the UK.
Tickets to the unusual dining experience are limited and online ballot applications will close on Thursday 30 May.
