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.

An eight-year-old boy who loves football and computer games has been chosen to decide what children will want to see in the Millennium Dome.

Christian, who attends a state school in north London, is a consultant for the design team working on one of the nine exhibition sections of the pounds 758m Dome in Greenwich.

A spokesman for the New Millennium Experience Company said Christian had advised the designers for some time. "His parents are friends of someone who works for the company and he comes in every four or five weeks and tells the designers what ideas are fun for kids," he said.
