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.

The Electoral Commission is taking forward work to consider votes at 16 following the CYPU's project YVote?YNot? which involved young people in telling the Government, politicians, the electoral commission and the media what turns them off and on to politics. The House of Commons Modernisation Select Committee recommended regular question times on cross-cutting government issues to be held in Parliament. Following a proposal by John Denham, Minister for Young People, supported by ministerial colleagues, the first of these sessions – on youth issues – will take place early in 2003.
