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.

ACCIDENT victims who become paralysed have to come to terms with the loss of their independence. These people are often young men in their late teens and early twenties who have been involved in car accidents or had sports injuries.

The Keep Able Foundation has launched Able Link, a support group to encourage recently injured young people to take as positive an approach to disability as possible. The group is run by tetraplegics and other severely disabled young volunteers who use technological developments to increase their independence. Contact Prue Turner, Keep Able Foundation, 081-994 6614.
