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.

The player must guide Donkey Kong across the screen using a joystick, through a mass of obstacles and booby traps set by the Kremlings. As the game progresses, Donkey Kong moves into new areas, known as "worlds", each with different scenery and obstacles. There are 101 worlds.
Donkey Kong revolutionised computer games. The character was the first to look like a 3D puppet rather than a flat cartoon cut-out. He can rotate 360 degrees, and interact with scenery, known as "graphical interfacing".
"It's a massive game, it's sprawling with levels and all kinds of things. It's also interactive with the scenery - it's not like the scenery is just there as background. It's also very difficult. It's very long and it's different every time. It's a humungously big game." Nikolae Segura, 14, from Glasgow
"It's got really good graphics. And it's good because it's quite hard but not too hard. The background is eye-catching but it doesn't disturb you, and the foreground is just amazing. It really sticks out." Ben Innes, 12, from Birmingham
"The graphics are the best ever - they are absolutely incredible. This is the only game that looks really realistic. The other good thing about it is there are two objectives on it: one, to complete the game, but also to find all the secret worlds." William Evans, 11, from London
