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.

London Underground and the New York City Transit Authority have organised an exchange of poems carried in their respective trains.

Tube passengers will now be able to read Walt Whitman's Crossing Brooklyn Ferry and Thanks Forever by Milton Kessler, while subway users will see the four-line anonymous lyric Western Wind.

The new selection of Poetry on the Underground includes works by Shakespeare and Robert Louis Stevenson.
