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.

Check out... Irvine Welsh's new adventure - with Welsh's signature madcap antics all over it, and some obvious literary relish in naming the new band (The Pocket Devils) and Welsh's new record label (Bubbles Recordings). Expect some guitar pop, and an opportunity to hear the single "Starmaker", to be released at the end of the month, with a remix by the "guy who made a number one in bedroom", White Towns' Jyoti Mishra. Theatre, novels, records, they can hardly say the chemical generation are slackers. Tonight at The Bubba Club, Dillwyn Street, Swansea.
