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.

JUNIOR schools can get 100 apples or 100 bananas free by applying for a free teaching pack promoting the consumption of more fresh fruit and vegetables.

The fruit comes from the Somerfield, Gateway, Solo and David Grieg supermarket chain. Contact Educational Project Resources Limited, Somerfield/Fresh Start, Freepost NH 4190, Northampton NN6 9BR.
