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.

In April, a Bedfordshire couple successfully sued a manufacturer of high technology beds after theirs had vibrated wildly and unpredictably, possibly as a result of interference from mobile phones.
In April, the Tokelau Islands in the South Pacific became the last country to have a telephone system installed. The president made the inaugural call to the prime minister of New Zealand, in whose territory the islands lie, to thank him for providing the pounds 600,000 that had made it possible.
