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 Mail on Sunday: Champagne and sports tickets not counted as bribery
The new head of the Serious Fraud Office has reassured companies that entertaining clients at events like the Olympics will not lead to them being prosecuted under the Bribery Act. David Green said: "We are not interested in that sort of case. The sort of bribery we are investigating would not be tickets to Wimbledon or bottles of champagne. We are not the 'Serious Champagne Office'."
