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.

2 Bizarre Christmas news stories. The Trinidad Express this week told of a street vendor whose patter consists solely of: "Call me Rodney. I is the man who selling curtain rod."
3 Mayhem of a high order. Opposition leader Patrick Manning said this week that fiscal policies were "total quality chaos". Like Villa performances then, but with quality.
4 Jug-jug. Cornflour, peas and salted meat.
5 Calypso, steel pan, ska and reggae.
6 Obeah - black magic.
7 The chaconia flower, symbol of imperishability. (Not something Yorke's fitness has experienced very much of late.)
8 The islands' new maximum security prison, which seeks to keep people of a mad and dangerous nature secure. As opposed to Villa Park, which encourages them to come out in public.
9 Hurricane shelters made of thin wood. As useful as Stan Collymore.
10 Pleasant accents.
