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.A DISPLAY case with a controlled environment, developed by the Getty Conservation Institute in California, made it possible to put Egypt's royal mummies back on public view this month. After being perfectly preserved underground for three millenniums or more, excavated mummies are threatened by light, temperature and humidity changes and are liable to decay. The case has a nitrogen atmosphere that will prevent dangerous bacteria and other microbes from causing decay.
