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.

Enough to worm the IIamas

in your stable

Or have Lord Linley knock

you up a table

Enough to buy the bigger

sort of Bentley

Assured that all antiques

will travel gently

Enough to hire an Admirable

Crichton

To help a knight alighting

from his phaeton

A pension to remunerate

your mater

For sterling service with

perambulator

A phone in any colour

that you feel

(Not taking up the Friends

and Family deal)

But not enough the

Jeremiah said

To keep your books from edging

to the red

And if this is beyond your comprehension

You realise that it

may affect

your pension?
