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 Hrutspungur. Ram's testicles pickled in whey made into a cake - as delicious as Selhurst Park pies.
3 Enn ein stodin. Iceland's No 1 TV programme, a sort of Drop the Dead Donkey with snow.
4 The Great Geyser near Gullfoss, which, like "Great Geezer" Steve Coppell, has been around for about 600 years.
5 Blurred nights in Kassibarin, the Reykjavik bar co-owned by singer Damon Albarn.
6 Yarns about warrior Eric the Red, who colonised Greenland in 982. Selhurst only has yarns about Eric of the Reds causing a stir in 1995.
7 Hallgrimskirkja, a church in Reykjavik designed to resemble a mountain of lava.
8 Rare winter rays. (And there will be no Ray through the SE25 winter either.)
9 Asatru, a minority Norse religion which focuses on nature's harmony and natural forces.
10 The geothermal Blue Lagoon. Like Selhurst Park, only hotter and more popular on Saturdays.
