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.

Good Day for polygamy, as a Saudi man suffering from kidney disease had two of his wives battling for the honour of donating one of their kidneys to save his life. The hospital drew lots, which selected the second wife, but his first wife still maintained that the chance of donating a kidney should have been hers.

Bad Day for fidelity, as Peking zoo tried to determine the father of a giant panda cub born six months ago. The mother, Le Le, mated with two males and received artificial insemination before the birth. Keepers at the zoo say it is important to find out the true father to prevent possible future inbreeding, which could damage the quality of panda reproduction.
